NeighborWorks Capital Equity Fund

NeighborWorks Capital, a national non-profit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), has partnered with National Equity Fund (NEF) to launch the NeighborWorks Capital Equity Fund. The first-of-its-kind equity fund will provide NeighborWorks America network organizations with a set of standardized, equitable Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) terms. The creation of this fund stems from NeighborWorks Capital’s desire to provide a group of high-performing community-based nonprofit organizations with access to equitable, consistent capital and NEF’s aligned mission.
