Who We Are

Having received over $1B in allocation, we are one of the largest NMTC awardees since the program’s inception. NMSC is now leveraging our NMTC experience to build an NMTC syndication business facilitating new untraditional and impact focused NMTC investors to enter the market.

With over $500 million in AUM and $1 billion under administration, NMSC is uniquely positioned to drive capital at scale to solutions creating more equitable, just, healthy, and prosperous communities. We are a part of LISC, the nation’s preeminent community development finance institution.

NMSC is seeking an Associate to join our NMTC originations team and support the deployment of NMTC equity and allocation. The Associate will support and assist with the underwriting and closing of tax credit investments.

  • Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously, manage time and resources to complete work efficiently and within established timeframes

  • Professional/industry experience in community development finance, tax credit finance, or CDFI lending
