Keeping a legacy of learning alive.

The Childrens Charter School Foundation supports education-focused community initiatives that reflect the spirit of Childrens Charter School.

About the Foundation

The Childrens Charter School Foundation, Inc. (CCSF) was established to support School for a New Millennium, Inc., the nonprofit that operated Childrens Charter School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For years, this charter school served approximately 250 students with a commitment to educational excellence and community engagement.

Since the school's closure, the Foundation has continued its mission by preserving the legacy of learning through education-focused community projects, micro-grants, and resource initiatives. We believe in transparent stewardship and the power of community-driven education to transform lives in the Baton Rouge area.

What We Support

Mini-grants for Learning

Small grants supporting classroom supplies, tutoring pilots, and STEM or arts micro-projects.

Our mini-grant program provides essential funding for educators, tutors, and community leaders who need classroom supplies, learning materials, or seed funding for pilot tutoring programs. We prioritize STEM and arts initiatives that engage students and foster creativity, critical thinking, and academic achievement. Grants typically range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, designed to make an immediate impact without extensive bureaucracy.

Community Education Events

Support for literacy nights, mentoring programs, and enrichment activities that bring the community together.

We fund and facilitate community education events such as family literacy nights, mentorship gatherings, and hands-on enrichment activities. These events strengthen the bonds between students, families, and educators while creating opportunities for lifelong learning. Whether it's a Saturday science workshop or an evening reading circle, we believe in the power of shared educational experiences to uplift entire neighborhoods.

Partner-Led Programs

Collaboration with vetted nonprofit partners to extend our reach and impact in the community.

We collaborate with established nonprofit organizations that share our commitment to education and community development. Through these partnerships, we provide financial support, volunteer coordination, and strategic guidance to help partner-led programs thrive. Our vetting process ensures that every partnership aligns with our mission and maintains the highest standards of accountability and impact.

Legacy Resources

Preserving the materials, stories, and best practices from Childrens Charter School for future generations.

The Foundation is committed to preserving the rich history and educational resources developed during the operation of Childrens Charter School. We maintain archives of curriculum materials, teaching strategies, and student success stories that can inform and inspire future educational initiatives. By honoring the past, we ensure that the lessons learned continue to benefit the Baton Rouge community and beyond.
