New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC)

Our Priorities

Reinvestment Fund supports projects in severely distressed census tracts that provide essential services to their communities including health care, education, and access to healthy food. Additionally, we fund projects that serve as anchors for community revitalization which can include commercial development and housing. Above all, we prioritize projects that demonstrate commitment to the following objectives:

• Racial Equity: Projects that advance equity and is focused on reducing racial disparities that stem from historic and systemic racism.
• Community Inclusion: Underrepresented groups have access to and representation in your organization and/or in your project goals/design.
• Climate Consciousness: Including energy efficiency, green building, clean energy sources, environmental remediation, and resiliency.
