What we provide our clients

Financial solutions and strategic support for high-impact, local organizations working to improve lives and strengthen communities.

Flexible Financing 
for Growth

We provide attainable capital for community organizations in health,  education, housing, and entrepreneurship, offering financing solutions  tailored to their unique needs—with flexible and accessible terms,  structures, and rates.

New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC)

Through the federal New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program, we help  organizations access funding for large-scale projects. NMTC works by  offering tax incentives to private investors, encouraging them to fund  projects like schools, healthcare facilities, and community  centers—initiatives that create jobs, improve services, and drive  long-term economic growth in communities that need it most.

Tools & Guidance for Organizational Sustainability

Beyond financing, we offer tailored technical assistance and strategic  guidance to strengthen the operational and leadership capacity of local  organizations. From strategic planning to financial management, we equip them with the tools and expertise they need to maximize their impact.
