Growth through acquisitions NEF’s strategic expansion via acquisitions such as Mountain Plains Equity Group and the recent NAHT asset and fund management portfolio integration signals ongoing pipeline growth opportunities for partners in LIHTC acquisitions, asset management, and fund platforms.

Massive LIHTC scale With a multi-billion-dollar LIHTC syndication platform and over 260,000 affordable homes supported since 1987, NEF represents a high-volume channel for tax credit investment products, equity placements, and large-scale affordable housing financing collaborations.

Strong financing momentum NEF reported a robust financing trajectory with over $1.7 billion in pipeline financing for the upcoming year, indicating readiness for new debt, equity, and leveraged financing partnerships to accelerate project pipelines.

Mission-aligned partnerships As a nonprofit-focused manager donating substantial grants to community development through LISC, NEF is a compelling partner for mission-aligned collaborations, impact financing, and grant-inclusive programs with potential co-investors and funders.

Talent and recognition Consistent recognition as a Best and Brightest Company to Work For and a focus on workforce development suggest opportunities to position NEF as a premier employer-client for recruitment, training, and workforce-related affordable housing initiatives, along with executive-level thought leadership engagements.
