A specialist firm for the schools shaping the next generation.
School Infrastructure Partners brings institutional capital and operating experience together - so school leaders can stop worrying about real estate and focus on students.
School Infrastructure Partners (SIP).
School Infrastructure Partners (SIP) is a private investment firm headquartered in Foster City, California. We exist for a single purpose: to finance the campuses that high-performing public schools need to serve more students.
SIP combines institutional-grade capital with deep operating experience — underwriting, real estate, and growth support — delivered in collaboration with Grow Schools, who brings nearly two decades of experience providing school leaders with the funding, resources, and know-how to build thriving schools. Together, school leaders can stop worrying about facilities and focus on students.
The firm builds on a multi-decade track record of financing hundreds of school campuses across the country.
