NMTCs allocated through EFCDE stimulate economic and community development by expanding access to quality jobs and essential community services, improving the opportunities and quality of life for residents in underserved communities.
If your business growth plans or community facility is located in a qualified area, you may be eligible for NMTCs to help subsidize your project costs while creating substantial community impact. Review these five eligibility requirements to gauge whether your project might be a good fit for a federal tax credit with EFCDE as a partner.
It’s important that you partner with a lender who shares your mission and understands every facet of the NMTC program, from early project phases through the years of compliance and reporting. As a seasoned allocatee, EFCDE is one of the few lenders with deep expertise in helping businesses navigate and close both federal and state NMTC loans, serving as a lender, allocatee or investor in NMTC programs.
