BASED ON THE PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS GIVEN TO NACSA FROM THE FOUNDATIONS OUT OF THE TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS GIVEN TO CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE NATION, THE CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED WERE NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE A MEANS FOR THE FOUNDATIONS TO EXERCISE CONTROL OVER THE OPERATIONS OF NACSA. NACSA RECEIVED THE CONTRIBUTIONS AS SUPPORT OF NACSA'S MISSION AND THE CHARTER SCHOOL SYSTEM.

	HUMAN CAPITAL AND SUBGRANTS NACSA RECOGNIZES THE IMPACT OF HUMAN CAPITAL NEEDS OF THE NATION'S CHARTER SCHOOL AUTHORIZERS ON THE OVERALL IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY IN THE SECTOR. NACSA'S HUMAN CAPITAL INITIATIVES WORK TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF QUALITY INDIVIDUALS ENTERING THE FIELD, TO CULTIVATE AND DEVELOP HIGH-POTENTIAL TALENT ALREADY WORKING IN AUTHORIZING, AND TO BUILD A POWERFUL NETWORK OF CURRENT AND FUTURE EFFECTIVE LEADERS TO HELP RETAIN THEM IN THE SECTOR. NACSA'S INITIATIVES IN THESE AREAS INCLUDE ITS LEADERS PROGRAM, RECENTLY CREATED ALUMNI PROGRAM, REGIONAL MEETINGS AND A VARIETY OF WEBINARS. WITH A GRANT FROM A PRIVATE FOUNDATION, NACSA WAS ABLE TO AWARD SUB-GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING CITIES ENGAGED IN A DISTRICT-CHARTER COLLABORATION COMPACT PROGRAM (COMPACT PROGRAM). THESE ONE-TIME, LUMP SUM GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO EACH CITY BASED ON COMPLETION OF A COMPACT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ITS CHARTER SCHOOLS ALONG WITH THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPROVED APPLICATION. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019, 103,376 IN SUB-GRANTS UNDER THIS PROGRAM WAS AWARDED. FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, 115,000 IN SUB-GRANTS WAS AWARDED. INVESTMENTS MADE UNDER THIS PROGRAM ARE TARGETED TO ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING THE OBJECTIVES OF THE DISTRICT'S COMPLETED COMPACT. APPLICANTS WERE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF THEIR PROPOSAL'S ALIGNMENT WITH THE GOALS OF THE COMPACT PROGRAM, POTENTIAL FOR IMPACT ON COMPACT PROGRAM OBJECTIVES; LEVEL OF DETAIL IN PROJECT PLAN; AS WELL AS CLARITY AROUND GOALS, DELIVERABLES AND MEASURES OF SUCCESS. ANNUAL CONFERENCE NACSA CONDUCTS ITS OWN ANNUAL CONFERENCE EACH FALL, HOSTING 500 AUTHORIZERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE CONFERENCE FEATURES NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED KEYNOTE AND PLENARY SPEAKERS AND A CHOICE OF MORE THAN 40 HIGHLY INTERACTIVE AND PRACTICE-ORIENTED WORKSHOPS DEVELOPED BY AND FOR CHARTER AUTHORIZERS AND FOCUSED ON ISSUES OF TOPICAL IMPORTANCE TO ALL WHO ARE DEDICATED TO ADVANCING CHARTER SCHOOLS. MEMBERSHIP NACSA WAS FOUNDED BY AND CONTINUES TO SERVE A DIVERSE ARRAY OF AUTHORIZING AGENCIES INCLUDING STATE EDUCATION AGENCIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, SPECIAL PURPOSE OR INDEPENDENT CHARTERING BOARDS, MUNICIPALITIES, AND PRIVATE NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. SEVERAL ACTIVE AND FORMER AUTHORIZERS SERVE ALONG WITH NON-AUTHORIZERS ON THE NACSA BOARD OF DIRECTORS. NACSA PUBLISHES ISSUE BRIEFS, CASE STUDIES, AND MONOGRAPHS. NACSA ALSO HOSTS A WEBINAR SERIES, CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED LEARNING VIA VIRTUAL COHORTS, AND FACILITATES MEETINGS THAT BRING TOGETHER MEMBERS TO DISCUSS SPECIAL TOPICS OF COMMON CONCERN. MEMBER FEEDBACK IS ALSO SOLICITED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND NACSA CONTINUES TO FIND WAYS TO FACILITATE SHARING AND DIALOGUE AMONG MEMBERS.
