Grants Administrator–Connecticut Charter Schools Program; CT-CSP

OUR PURPOSE & IMPACT

The Mind Trust Connecticut (TMT-CT) is a nonprofit organization working to expand access to high-quality public charter schools across Connecticut's Alliance Districts — the state's highest need communities. Through its Charter Schools Program State Entity grant, TMT-CT supports the launch, replication, and expansion of charter schools serving predominantly low-income students and students of color, while building the authorizer accountability infrastructure that Connecticut's charter sector has never had.

The team has extensive authorizing experience and has designed several key initiatives to ensure that Connecticut’s authorizer (the Connecticut State Board of Education (SBE)) is administered by the Connecticut State Department of Education. TMT-CT is building Connecticut’s first independent, publicly verifiable data system tracking charter school and sector performance.

The Mind Trust, Inc is a nonprofit organization based in Indianapolis, dedicated to creating an educational system that ensures every student has access to high quality education – no exceptions. We achieve this by fostering a supportive environment through policy advocacy, community engagement, and empowering talented educators to establish new schools. Additionally, we support existing schools in attracting and retaining exceptional talent.

Since our founding in 2006, we’ve launched 51 schools and 15 education nonprofits and placed over 1,800 educators and school leaders in classrooms across Indianapolis.

At The Mind Trust, we operate in a dynamic, results-driven culture that prioritizes collaboration and flexibility. We are a nonprofit that invests in public education to transform lives and increase academic achievement in Indianapolis, across Indiana, and beyond. This includes managing student-centered programming, growing new high-quality public charter schools, supporting existing schools and educators, and engaging the community in every region we serve.

Everything we do aims to create a positive impact on student learning because we believe all students, regardless of background or income, deserve an education that helps them meet their full potential in life.

We believe in fostering a high-capacity team that aligns with our mission and values to drive transformational educational outcomes. Our culture encourages team members to bring their authentic selves to work, fostering a sense of belonging and care for one another. Empowered and self-driven, our leaders operate with autonomy and commitment to continuous learning and growth. We invest in professional development, promoting innovation and curiosity as we strive for excellence in our mission.
