Blueprint

Expanding educational opportunities for students in under-resourced communities

The Challenge

A legacy of systemic inequality in education has left many historically underserved communities with limited educational options. Lack of affordable school facilities is a major barrier to expanding the number of high-quality public schools educating students of color. Blueprint exists to break down that barrier. By changing the facilities landscape for charter schools, we ensure more students in under-resourced communities have access to schools where they can learn and thrive.

Our Mission

Our mission is to dismantle systemic inequality in education by expanding educational opportunities for students in under-resourced communities.

How We Work

We work collaboratively alongside our charter school partners, striving to understand their unique circumstances to create a facility solution that not only meets their educational needs but is also affordable to ensure long-term financial sustainability.

We center our work on four main pillars:

Mission Aligned

We share the commitment of our charter school partners to provide students in underserved communities with greater access to educational and career opportunities. We are fully invested in our partners’ success as they work to create transformative change in the lives of students and families.

Trusted Partners

We maintain a trusting, collaborative relationship with our charter school partners, built on timely, clear, and transparent communication. We are committed to our partners’ financial sustainability and to ensuring they do not commit to agreements they will be unable to afford in the long term.

Sector Experts

We draw on decades of experience and expertise to guide our charter school partners through the complex facilities development process, leading and driving the work so our partners can stay focused on what matters most – teaching and learning.

Tenacious Problem Solvers

We understand that unforeseen roadblocks are inevitable in the facilities development process. We work side-by-side with our charter school partners to solve complex challenges, ensuring facilities projects are delivered on time and within budget.
