How NMTC Helps

New dollars for community projects

The New Markets Tax Credit brings new dollars to qualifying community projects in low-income areas, typically 15–25% of total project cost, depending on structure. NMTC funds reach the project as a loan that is forgiven after seven years if the project stays in place, serves the community, and follows program rules.
