Investing in Equity: High-Quality Charter Schools, Equitable Capital Markets,  & the Future of Education in Communities in Color

Anand Kesavan, Equitable Facilities Fund 
Roblin Webb, Freedom Prep Charter Schools

Since launching in 2009, Freedom Preparatory Academy (FPA) has grown to serve over 2,500 students in South Memphis with a vision that one day every child will have the same competitive advantage as the most privileged children in America. These efforts are supported by the Equitable Facilities Fund (EFF), a nonprofit social impact fund that has committed over $540M of financing to excellent schools like FPA. Roblin Webb, Founder and CEO of FPA, and Anand Kesavan, Founder and CEO of EFF, will discuss the steps their organizations are taking to transform education and financial access for low-income communities of color.
