As a CDE with a national service area, RDP is eligible to apply for an annual allocation of Federal New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs). From 2004 through 2018, RDP has won eight NMTC awards from the U.S. Treasury totaling $541.7 million. RDP works to combine NMTCs with bank loans and tax credit investor funds to create more favorable financing solutions than are available through conventional lending and investing. To date, RDP has used NMTC financing to help more than 30 businesses and nonprofits across the nation complete projects that provide access to quality jobs and healthy foods. View our Impact
