What does it mean for a nonprofit to be CRA aligned?
Each nonprofit on Community Qualifier has been reviewed by findCRA utilizing a dual evaluation process. Nonprofits are first evaluated by our proprietary algorithm, CRANIA, and then further validated by our CRA experts. When nonprofit passes both parts of this review, we create a nonprofit profile for them on Community Qualifier. From there, a nonprofit can claim their profile and add additional information including their programs & services, counties served, targeted clients and income groups and more.

Programs & Services info
Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Syndication
As the premier Virginia-based tax credit equity fund, we boast a legacy of over 30 years dedicated to crafting high-performing equity funds. We specialize in utilizing the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, one of the most effective tools for financing the development of affordable housing for low- to moderate-income renters. As a syndicator, VCDC helps bridge the gap between investors and developers to help meet the need of quality, safe affordable housing in communities that need it most. Our team of experts advises developers on LIHTC project ideas, deal structure, underwriting, closing, and construction, and our Asset Managers provide ongoing technical assistance to ensure the long-term financial and operational success.

New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) Program
As a Community Development Entity, our lending affiliate VCDF helps provide alternative financing through the New Market Tax Credit Program (NMTC). Our investments in real estate preservation and development through the NMTC program support economic development and community revitalization, create business and job opportunities, and bring community facilities and services to low-income communities. VCDF has received allocations of NMTCs totaling $70 million in the last 10 years.

Historic Tax Credit (HTC) Syndication

Historic tax credit projects often go hand in hand with LIHTC initiatives, and we can seamlessly combine both tax credit programs to maximize the impact and success of both our development and investment partners. We currently have 34 historic tax credit properties in our portfolio.
