Is Your Organization NMTC Ready? Strategies for Funding Preparation

September 17, 2025

Our New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) team, along with Community Development Entity (CDE), Midwest Renewable Capital, will provide an overview of the NMTC Program and process and how the program benefits organizations and their communities. We’ll discuss strategies on how your organization can prepare for NMTC funding, including overall project readiness, specific criteria CDEs consider when evaluating projects, and what happens when your project is selected for funding. We’ll also share insight into common mistakes that organizations make and best practices on how you can position your projects for success when receiving NMTC funding.

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe how NMTC Program funding benefits organizations and their local communities.
