About the Coalition

CDFA has taken the lead nationally to bring the tax increment finance industry together through the creation of the Tax Increment Finance Coalition (TIFC). The TIFC is a standing coalition within CDFA dedicated to professionals and organizations working in the tax increment finance industry. In developing the TIFC, CDFA becomes the first national organization to address tax increment financing head on.
