Alliance for Progress Charter School (AFPCS) is a mission-driven, award-winning, K-8 charter school serving over 600 students annually in North Philadelphia. NFF provided Alliance for Progress with a $612,000 loan for the acquisition of unimproved land adjacent to the school’s existing campus to construct a new playground. The space will be equipped with play structures provided by KABOOM!, a national nonprofit that engages volunteers and sponsors to help communities build playgrounds for children. This loan was supported by NFF’s credit enhancement grant program facilitated by the United States Department of Education’s Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities Program.
