New Markets Tax Credits

What Are New Markets Tax Credits And How Do They Help Communities?

The New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC) is a federal initiative created to spur private capital investment in low-income communities. Created under the Community Renewal Tax Act of 2000, NMTCs are allocated by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI), a bureau within the United States Department of Treasury, under a competitive application process.

NMTC funding is available to certified Community Development Entities (CDEs). Our experienced professionals can assist with the preparation and filing of the CDE Certification application to the CDFI Fund. We also provide strategic planning related to the CDEs Controlling Entity and Governing and Advisory Boards.

We work in all areas of the NMTC Program, including Community Development Entity (CDE) Certification, NMTC Allocation Applications, NMTC Management Services, and NMTC Placement.

Our team has successfully closed over $877 million of NMTC transactions—demonstrating our broad range of project experience including community facilities, manufacturing and distribution facilities, and mixed-use real estate investments.

We’ve been involved with NMTCs from day one, and related types of financing programs for decades. If you’re looking for the team that’s best positioned to help you navigate this landscape from start to finish, you’ve found it in Cherry Bekaert.

New Markets Tax Credit Case Studies

“New Markets Tax Credits is a flexible and patient financing tool that can be used to fill the gap on capital projects, assist with the purchase of equipment or offset operational expenditures for nonprofit and for profits in return for creation of positive community impacts for low-income communities. It is an extremely versatile tool that can be used to help organizations that typically lack access to traditional capital markets or provide financing for measurable changes within communities that so often lack access to quality jobs, commercial goods and community goods and services.”
