Mission

At Building America, we believe capital should do more than finance projects; it should transform lives. Through the strategic allocation of New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs), we invest in carefully selected projects that bring opportunity back to distressed communitites across the country.

"For nonprofit organizations, managing long-term debt is critical to staying focused on our mission. A New Market Tax Credit allocation from Building America provides efficient capital that helps make the Norma Herr Center renovation financially feasible; while allowing us to welcome more individuals with the safety, privacy, and dignity they deserve during some of the most difficult moments of their lives."

Elaine Gimmel, Executive Director - EDEN
"The YMCA of Central Massachusetts has been an outstanding community partner to the City of Worcester and our local union movement. Being able to bring labor's capital to the table to transform this downtown landmark strengthens our collective efforts to rebuild our city."

"In these tough economic times, the good union construction jobs created by this project are a godsend for our members."

"Not only does this project represent hundreds of good jobs for our members, but it is also going to bring quality healthcare and housing to many of Denver's homeless individuals."
