Formerly known as Campus Development Associates, we originally focused on financing educational facilities. Due to difficulty securing capital for nonprofit schools, we pioneered the use of tax-exempt bond financing for facility projects. At the time, utilizing tax-exempt financing for small to midsized projects ($4 to $10 million) sponsored by local nonprofits was virtually uncharted territory.

Our founders assembled a team and a network of investors to fund facility projects for numerous agencies — often at 100% of project cost — via the privately placed tax-exempt bond market. As we perfected our financing strategies, we expanded expertise in a range of options to close financing gaps.

We provide financing and technical assistance to sponsors of projects that promise to have significant positive impact by helping to attract new businesses, visitors and residents to distressed communities, while creating training and job opportunities for local residents. Bottom line: we seek to finance projects that tip the scales from decline to prosperity.
