Public Policy

A lot can happen at the legislative level that can have a profound impact on the economic development community.

So our team of experienced staff and expert partners work to advocate for strong federal and state support of community development resources, and to inform decision makers about issues of concern.

Finance Fund's public policy goals range from the inclusion of New Markets Tax Credits in legislation to robust national investment in community development.

To accomplish this, our public policy team attends congressional briefings, lobbies for community development, makes personal visits with elected officials and their staff on Capitol Hill and at the district level, and takes an active role in important national coalitions, such as The New Markets Tax Credit Coalition and the National Children's Facilities Network.
