Funding intelligence for California K-12

Every California district has
capital funding they haven't claimed.

School Flow Automations builds funding intelligence software for districts and County Offices of Education. Our product, School Flow Funding, maps your projects to credible funding pathways across the School Facilities Program, federal grants, state programs, energy incentives, IRS elective pay, and local sources — so nothing eligible goes unfunded.

The Problem

Capital funding for school facilities is fragmented, time-sensitive, and getting harder to track.

01

Staff turnover is erasing institutional knowledge

California superintendent turnover hit 20.9% in 2020-21 and remains elevated. CBO vacancies, FMOT director retirements, and classified layoffs leave districts without the people who know the project history, deadlines, and funding strategy.

02

January 1, 2027 — every SFP filing goes through OPSC Online

The state's mandatory transition to OPSC Online filing is months away. Districts without a digital workflow, delegate access, and an organized funding strategy will fall behind the queue — and the queue is already 1,263 applications deep.

03

Funding is everywhere — but no district can see it all at once

SFP, Prop 2, federal grants, IRA elective pay, energy incentives, USDA Community Facilities, local match sources, foundations — over 50 credible funding pathways exist. Most districts pursue 5 or 6. The gap between those numbers is the unclaimed capital.

Introducing

School Flow Funding

A project-intake decision dashboard. Not another funding directory.

1

Enter your project

Project type, site, scope, cost estimate, phase, schedule urgency, FMP status, local match capacity, and the eligibility triggers — energy, CTE, seismic, hardship, modernization, deferred maintenance.

2

Get the ranked funding stack

Every eligible source ranked by fit confidence, strategic alignment, timeline fit, match burden, compliance load, and competitiveness. Each option shows the dollar range and what evidence is missing.

3

Execute with a 90-day plan

A funding-source narrative for your Five-Year Facilities Master Plan, an evidence checklist, a deadline register, and a deployment-tracking layer that stays with you after the award is in hand.

Who It's For

Built for the people running facilities and fiscal services.

School Districts

For Chief Business Officials, Superintendents, Facilities Directors, and the staff who carry the institutional knowledge.

  • Map active projects to credible funding pathways
  • Track SFP applications, fund releases, and DSA certifications
  • Surface IRA elective-pay opportunities for energy projects
  • Preserve knowledge across staff transitions
  • Prepare for the January 2027 OPSC Online mandate

County Offices of Education

Countywide capital funding strategy, portfolio triage, and member-district readiness support — built for the COE role.

  • Portfolio view across member districts
  • Technical assistance workflows for small district cohorts
  • Member-district local match sources framed correctly
  • SFP, CDE, federal, and energy program watch

How we frame the COE role: School Flow Funding presents general obligation bonds, developer fees, Mello-Roos, and similar instruments as member-district local match sources that COEs help evaluate — not as COE-controlled funding.

About

A product company built by a capital funding strategist.

Hansen Global Industries, Inc. is the legal entity behind School Flow Automations, our operating brand, and School Flow Funding, our product. We exist because California's capital funding landscape is too fragmented for any single staff member to hold in their head — and turnover means the knowledge that does exist often leaves with the person.

We're building the funding intelligence layer that stays with the district. Sources are maintained from credible institutional references — OPSC, CDE, the California Energy Commission, IRS guidance, the California Grants Portal. Every recommendation cites its basis. Every district workspace is scoped by California Department of Education identifiers. Nothing is generic.
