The FY2027 President's Budget requests $500.0M for Charter school grants (ESEA IV-C), within Education's Innovation and Improvement account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2025 figure of $500.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $500.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $500.0M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Education discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Education's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Supports the startup of new charter schools and the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12 students, plus facilities financing, technical assistance, and dissemination.
Extracted from Innovation and Improvement, p. 68. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
