2-24-22 NMTC Lending and Credit Policies, rev. 2-24-22 Small Loan Pool Highlights About the New Markets Tax Credit Program The New Markets Tax Credit program is a federal program designed to provide businesses in rural or low-income communities with greater access to capital in order to increase job creation and development activities.
In 2007, with the explicit authorization of the New Mexico Legislature, NMFA formed a subsidiary called Finance New Mexico, LLC (FNM) to pursue an allocation of federal tax credits available under the New Markets Tax Credit program. Since 2007, the CDFI Fund at the US Department of Treasury has awarded FNM seven NMTC allocation awards totaling $346 million.
Under the New Markets Tax Credit program, FNM leverages private capital with funds derived from the sale of tax credits to investors. The incentive to investors is a 39% federal income tax credit earned over seven years for every dollar invested in a qualified low-income community enterprise.
The benefit to New Mexico businesses is very-low-cost capital, with flexible lending criteria and the potential to convert portions of NMTC loans to equity. Through FNM, NMFA has offered 33 competitive application cycles since its inception, including application rounds exclusively for projects located in rural areas.
Through these application cycles, Finance New Mexico has closed transactions for 33 projects totaling $331 million, including $15 million in Small Loan Pool financing.
New Markets Tax Credit Small Loan Pool The goal of the NMTC Small Loan Pool is to provide flexible financing offered at advantageous terms for eligible projects between $500,000 and $4 million to qualified businesses located in low-income communities that have historically lacked access to credit. The NMTC Small Loan Pool was strategically created in response to market needs for financing eligible projects under $4 million.
The NMTC Program described above meets the market segment above $5 million. NMFA believes the market for small businesses and small-scale developments can be further enhanced by providing access to affordable, flexible capital through non-traditional lending.
NMFA identified an unmet demand for financing between $500,000 and $4 million, and a need for loans that allow for a higher loan-to-value ratios of up to 90% for senior debt and 95% loan-to-value for subordinate debt. The NMTC Small Loan Pool was created in response to these needs. The technical storage or access that is used exclusively for statistical purposes.

Read articleFor FY2026 and FY2027, EPA is waiving the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the ~$156,000 credit-processing fee for water systems serving 25,000 or fewer people — a near-$200,000 discount on access to an $11 billion pool of low-cost federal financing. The waiver removes the single barrier that kept small and rural utilities out of WIFIA for a decade. Here is how WIFIA actually works, who qualifies, why the letter of interest is the real gate, and how a town of 8,000 should think about a program built for billion-dollar projects.
Read articleFor FY2026 and FY2027, EPA is waiving the WIFIA application and credit-processing fees for communities of 25,000 or fewer — saving nearly $200,000 per loan — against roughly $11 billion in flexible financing that covers up to 80 percent of project costs. Here is why WIFIA has been underused by small systems, how the loan actually works, and how a rural utility should build a WIFIA strategy in 2026.
