WSHFC | Nonprofit Facilities Financing Program Bond Financing for Nonprofit Facilities • Refi/Refunding Application (PDF) * • List of our Clients (PDF) * ONLY for projects previously financed with tax-exempt debt by the Commission Tax-Exempt Bond Financing Methods The Commission's Nonprofit Facilities Program is a smart way to save money and maximize your capital campaign.
Often, a capital campaign is not enough to cover the total cost of a project—particularly costs related to construction and capital improvements. A bond-backed loan may help you reach your goals sooner and more efficiently. Contact us and explore your options.
Download and Share Our Program Brochure (PDF) You choose your own bank and negotiate your own terms. The lender buys the tax-exempt bond from us and passes the tax savings on to you in the form of a lower interest rate on your loan. No state taxpayer dollars are used.
The Commission works with you and your lender every step of the way. WHAT SIZE LOANS ARE FINANCED? The only limit is the amount your organization can afford to repay.
Whether your project costs $500,000, $5 million or $50 million, we can assist you with a cost-effective solution.
Borrow at a lower interest rate More funds available for operations or endowment Less dependence on grants and other financing Efficient use of donor gifts Cash management flexibility Begin construction sooner—avoid climbing construction costs Keep more cash for operations or endowment For smaller projects using STEP, savings are typically one to two percentage points below market rates.
The interest rates are set by lenders and will vary among lending institutions. For larger projects, when borrowing typically exceeds $5-7 million, investment banks market the bonds to retail and institutional investors. In these cases interest rates are lower than for smaller projects, but the financing process is more complex and associated fees are larger.
The borrower can still realize significant savings. You can use bonds to purchase a building, land or equipment; build or renovate facilities; or even refinance existing debt—as long as the project furthers your nonprofit’s mission. The Commission’s Nonprofit Facilities Programs help 501(c)(3) organizations across Washington state buy, build, renovate, and refinance their community facilities.
