About EFF’s Nevada Facilities Fund

Launched in 2023 in partnership with the State of Nevada and Opportunity 180, EFF’s Nevada Facilities Fund offers long-term, low-cost facility financing to early-phase, growing, and independent charter school operators that demonstrate tremendous potential to positively impact the students and families they serve. This proven model is designed to accelerate schools’ pathways to long-term financial sustainability and academic success. This fund provides financial stability for schools during critical growth years.

Loans typically save schools over $150,000 per year and support numerous additional quality public seats for under-resourced communities.

The Nevada Facilities Fund (NVFF) offers:

100% Loan-to-Value Financing (no fundraising required)
30-year Loan Terms
