D. Any approved charter school may solicit, accept, and administer donations or any other financial assistance in the form of money, grants, property, loans, or personal services for educational purposes from any public or private person, corporation, or agency and must comply with rules and regulations governing grants from the federal government or from any other person or agency, which are not in contravention of the federal or state constitution or any other federal or state law.
