Public Charter Schools
We support charter school leaders in their entrepreneurial mission by ensuring financial implications are clear in each consequential organizational decision.
Establish the foundations. Then build to sustain.
From high-level strategy to pointed analysis, we help you balance today’s financial realities with tomorrow’s long-term success.
Our work with more than 100 charter school networks around the country centers on effective organizational decision making, guided by the five foundations of financial health: sustainability, resiliency, financial operations, governance, and budget alignment.
We love the innovative spirit of charter schools. Our services honor that spirit and enable your mission in financially enduring ways.
Wherever your school organization is at, our solutions can meet you there:
- Financial health diagnostics
- Multi-year financial planning & forecasting
- Budgeting, reforecasting, and cash flow management
- Facilities planning and financing affordability
- Growth and expansion planning
- Board governance training
- Fractional CFO services
- CFO training and coaching

Equitable Facilities Fund
“Over the past two years, Equitable Facilities Fund has partnered with Afton Partners on a couple of strategic projects and it has been a truly remarkable experience for EFF and the charter school sector. The Afton team made the work together more impactful and seamless by bringing their deep expertise and collaborative spirit to every project. We appreciated that we could count on Afton to deliver high-quality insights and solutions that put schools, community and students first. We chose to work with Afton because we wanted a partner who could provide best-in-class service to charter schools while rooting that service in a culturally competent approach. Afton’s commitment to equity and excellence showed up in the way they approached every task with empathy, diligence and integrity. In summary, working with Afton Partners has been a transformative experience for Equitable Facilities Fund and the schools we serve, and we look forward to many more years of successful collaboration.”
