Tax-Exempt Financing

Non-Profits

Access to capital is often the greatest hindrance to growth for non-profits.  If your non-profit is looking to finance a facility or equipment, you may have access to the low-interest rates found with tax-exempt bonds.

You can use tax-exempt bond proceeds to fund the cost of acquiring or constructing capital assets, interest during construction, and other costs of issuance.
