Developing a comprehensive Financing Request Package (FRP) is an important first step in securing financing and/or project subsidies. The FRP provides everything a lender or donor needs in order to make a decision, highlights the project’s positive community impacts including economic, social and environmental, and demonstrates the project’s propensity for spurring additional investment to help revitalized distressed communities. Once debt is secured the FRP is updated and targeted to CDEs with NMTC allocation and other subsidy providers.
