The NMTC is a powerful win/win opportunity that empowers the private sector to spark job creation and new economic opportunities where they are needed most. These investments are rigorously evaluated, carefully vetted, and generate sustainable impacts in communities across the country. Our organization is now able to generate $130 million in measurable community benefits annually because of our NMTC project, creating jobs, boosting farmers and small businesses, and reducing hunger and poor health.
