For nearly two decades, and rebranded as Blueprint in 2025, we have worked alongside charter school leaders in underserved communities, offering expert guidance and connecting them with philanthropic resources to create lasting educational spaces. With a commitment to expanding educational access, Blueprint has grown across California, Washington, Texas, and now Colorado, developing over 135 school campuses and leveraging more than $1.2 billion in philanthropy, private financing, and state funding to build facilities that support student success for generations to come.
