Grant Opportunities & More
The New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program)
The New Market Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program) incentivizes community development and economic growth through the use of tax credits that attract private investment to distressed communities. The Program aims to break the cycle of disinvestment and reinvigorate struggling local economies.
The NMTC Program attracts private capital by permitting individual and corporate investors to receive a tax credit against their federal income tax in exchange for making equity investments in specialized financial intermediaries called Community Development Entities (CDEs). The credit totals 39% of the original investment amount and is claimed over a period of seven years.
