Education Finance Analyst (EFA) Program
The Education Finance Analyst (EFA) Program is a two-year program that recruits and trains diverse, early-stage professionals to succeed in mission-driven financial services roles. Participants will address the financial and real estate challenges facing public charter schools, a growing sector promoting educational equity. The program will equip participants with skills that enable meaningful careers at mission-oriented institutes including investments firms, lenders, banks, and charter schools.
The second cohort of the EFA Program is a collaborative effort between Civic Builders, Equitable Facilities Fund, Level Field Partners and Afton Partners. Accepted participants will be matched with one of the four partner organizations.
Applications for the 2023 EFA program cohort are now closed. Please check back later this fall for updates on the application period for the 2024 cohort.
