NDC Academy

“NDC’s ability to bring deal-making expertise and capacity to the local level is extremely helpful.  But what really makes NDC stand out is that it matches this capacity with actual tools.  It’s one thing to talk about how to do a deal.  But itʼs another thing entirely to make deals a reality.  NDC does both.  And they do it well.  NDC’s experience with New Market Tax Credits alone puts them at the top of my list.”
                            
— Thomas C. Johnson, M.B.A., EDFP, Southeast Regional Director, Wyoming Business Council

NDC's efforts to foster investment and job creation in underserved urban and rural areas have historically been focused at the community level.  The need for a national stage to debate community development issues and impact national policy has prompted the development of the NDC Academy.  The NDC Academy marks the merger of the renowned NDC of the classroom with the behind-the-scenes deal doing of NDC's financial and technical assistance services to create a public forum designed to improve the way in which investment and job growth occur in our nation's low-income communities.

Why a national forum?  Without some understanding at the national level of successful community development occurring in local communities, the knowledge gained through those successes cannot be easily translated into positive policy change and new legislation.  By highlighting the tremendous dividends the efforts of local communities pay in the form of taxes, jobs and investment, the NDC Academy can establish an ongoing dialogue between local communities and Washington, D.C., to bring to the fore important issues in the realm of economic, housing and community development.

The NDC Academy provides a special training opportunity for both new and seasoned practitioners who want to learn about new community development strategies and financing tools and get a fresh take on old ones.  The courses are taught with the same skills and real-world expertise that have made NDC training premier in the field.
