Feeling confused by the NMTC Labyrinth?
CDFI Fund awards NMTCs to CDEs who authorize QEIs made by investors in exchange for a federal tax credit. QALICBs must be in qualified LICs and sub all of the QEI must go to making QLICIs, which is reported in AMIS and scrutinized by both the IRS and CDFI Fund.

Big-Picture Perspective. Fanatical about Details.
New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs) are a powerful tool for unlocking economic development potential in our nation’s most distressed communities.
The problem is the NMTC program is complex, confusing and competitive, which means many potentially transformational opportunities fail to materialize while others struggle to succeed.
Sanders brings a 360-degree perspective to NMTC investments as well as a trained eye for detail. Through our founder’s work with U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation, Advantage Capital Partners, LISC’s New Markets Support Company, and Affordable Equity Partners, we have experience in every facet of the NMTC program.
Because of this insight, we consider long-term implications when structuring NMTC financing, knowing this affects not just the closing but the entire life of the loan. Expertise is essential to NMTC success: Few consultants can match the breadth and depth of Sanders.

“GreatWave Broadband Services is deeply indebted to Brynn for assembling the right financial partners and surmounting every challenge to secure $9.5MM needed to bring broadband service to Appalachian Ohio. As CEO, I was impressed with Brynn’s knowledge and determination to make the financing work, preparing us for a follow-on SBA loan and arranging a short-term bridge loan while waiting for the NMTC deal to close. She made the impossible possible.”
