Take Action
Invite Members of Congress to Visit a NMTC Financed Business.
Toolkit for in-district advocacy.
Getting a Member of Congress to visit a NMTC financed business is simply one of the most powerful ways to advocate for the extension.
Consider extending an invitation when you visit Congressional staff in DC or contract their district office with potential dates and possible NMTC financed businesses that would be of interest. Download our toolkit for in district advocacy to learn more.
