You have a capital project—purchasing a new building or renovating/expanding an existing building—and you have the architect and contractor all lined up, but how are you going to pay for it all?  Your fundraising campaign will only go so far and often trickles in over a 3 to 5-year period. Does your Board want to get started and is asking you to “Show me the Money!!” Where do you start? What are your options?

Participants will learn about:

• Borrowing basics: taxable versus tax-exempt financing options
• Process to borrow money from private loans to public offerings
• Repayment of or security for the loan
• USDA loans and grant programs
• Local government incentives
• Key take-aways to consider for your next project
