What is the process for investing in a charter school in an OZ?

I heard the Department of Education is encouraging people to invest in charter schools in OZs since more than 70& of OZs don’t have a public charter school option. How do I best go about this? Where can I find funds that invest in this cause?

    I have no idea how to find such a fund. However, you could start one!

    There are some online marketplaces where you can find OZs to invest in. Other than that, certain funds are word of mouth only, so you'd need to make efforts to discover them on your own. Finally, there's always the option of starting your own fund and syndicating.

    I will say the process will be the same as for any other investment through a QOF. The key is how to find a fund investing in schools. I would suggest contacting local authorities and searching in the different sites in the Internet that are listing funds.
