Search grants.gov Home Applicant Information and Eligibility Funding and Legislation Awards FY 2025 CSP CMO Grants Competition What's New Announcing the New FY 2025 CMO Grant Awards! On September 24, 2025, the Department of Education awarded 22 new grants under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program – Grants to Charter Management Organizations for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (CMO Grants) competition. These funds will be used to replicate and expand high-quality charter schools across the country. For information about the new awards, please visit the Awards tab. Program Description Aligned with the Trump Administration’s focus on educational excellence and opportunity, the Charter Schools Program (CSP) expands education choice by providing more schooling options to students, particularly those that reside in failing districts. The six grant programs available through the CSP increase the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the Nation and empower parents to select the schooling option that best fits their child’s unique needs. This program supports transparency in the operational performance of all authorized public chartering agencies. The CSP CMO Grant program is authorized under Title IV, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) (20 7221-7221j). Through CSP CMO Grants, the Department awards grants to charter management organizations (CMOs) on a competitive basis to enable them to replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools. Grant funds may be used to significantly increase the enrollment of, or add one or more grades to, an existing high-quality charter school or to open one or more new charter schools or new campuses of a high-quality charter school based on the educational model of an existing high-quality charter school . Charter schools that receive financial assistance through CSP CMO Grants provide elementary or secondary education programs, or both, and may also serve students in early childhood education programs or postsecondary students, consistent with the terms of their charter. This program ensures that children in our Nation receive an education that best fits their unique needs, enabling them to thrive, regardless of income or zip code.
