The Binnick Group works with a broad range of clients to provide NMTC solutions. TBG’s clients include CDEs who are both nonprofit and for-profit entities that are developers, financial institutions, CDFIs, operating businesses and Native American tribes seeking to deploy or utilize NMTCs. TBG services include:
The Binnick Group works with CDE clients to create award-winning strategies for NMTC applications. TBG has prepared successful NMTC applications in three of the past five application rounds, securing $101 million in the aggregate. TBG has also served as an NMTC application reviewer on behalf of numerous CDEs.
The Binnick Group works with investors and CDEs to select NMTC investment opportunities, and with developers and sponsors to source much needed NMTC investment into valuable projects. TBG also assists with originating, structuring, underwriting and closing NMTC transactions.
The Binnick Group works with CDE clients to identify, understand and meet the compliance requirements of the NMTC program. TBG has assisted CDEs with: (i) training in compliance requirements; (ii) maintaining appropriate records; (iii) testing and monitoring allocation agreement and IRS regulatory compliance; (iv) CDFI Fund reporting; and (v) investor and board reporting.
The Binnick Group works with scores of CDE clients to form and certify both emerging CDEs intending to apply for NMTC allocation and Subsidiary CDEs created for individual transactions by established CDEs.
The Binnick Group works with CDEs awarded NMTC allocation (“Allocatees”), counsel across the country and CDFI Fund legal staff, to coordinate the legal opinion process that effectively enjoins the Allocatee and certain Subsidiary CDEs to the Allocation Agreement, the pre-requisite to becoming deal ready.
TBG works with scores of CDE clients to amend CDE Service Areas in order to expand a CDE’s capacity and position CDE’s to become more competitive in future NMTC Application program years.
TBG participated in the 2014 Financial Assistance (“FA”) Application round as a reader and is ideally situated to assist with writing and submitting FA Applications in future funding years.
“The Binnick Group understands and has first-hand experience with all of the myriad components that are fundamental to a successful NMTC outcome. TBG’s strong industry relationships, particularly with the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI Fund”), have proven invaluable in helping UACD deploy its allocation timely.”
