FUND JOB DESCRIPTION
Job Title: Credit Analyst
Reports to: VP of Lending and NMTC
National Community Investment Fund (NCIF; www.ncif.org) is an impact investor and national nonprofit
Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) formed in 1996 with a mission to increase access
to responsible financial products and services in underserved communities.
NCIF focuses on impact generation across economic opportunity, racial justice and environmental
justice issues. Total assets under management at NCIF are around $260 million, including a balance
sheet of approximately $78 million and $183 million of New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) allocations as
July 31,2024. In 2019, NCIF launched a $30 million Credit Strategies Fund for lending and has recently
raised $18 million of debt capital as of August 2024 to support growth and impact. NCIF meets its
mission via the following complementary lines of businesses:
. Equity Investing: We invest in/lend with mission-oriented financial institutions (CDFI banks, minority banks,
CDFI loan funds and others) with equity, debt and deposits investments. NCIF is the largest investor in CDFI
banks with investments in 17 institutions (>10% of sector). Selectively NCIF will invest in financial and green
technology corporations that are mission aligned;
. New Market Tax Credit deployment: We have received $401 million in NMTC allocations and are
deploying it into nonprofit and for-profit impact-oriented operating companies and real estate such as,
health care facilities, and schools.
. Lending: NCIF is building a portfolio of loans that are focused on supporting businesses, housing
communities, education, healthcare and other sectors that are mission aligned. To further that reach, we
are launching a platform to originate and syndicate loans among the NCIF Network of Banks. We have
also launched an initiative to lend to greenhouse gas reduction projects that are aligned with the EPA
goals around (a) net-zero buildings (b) zero-emission transportation and (c) alternative energy source
(i.e. solar) in underserved communities nationally.
. Impact measurement is the foundation of NCIF’s work and supports all our business lines. NCIF
pioneered the use of Social Performance Metrics (www.bankimpact.org) and is developing a Large
Language Model/Generative AI based Data Analytics Platform to catalyze additional capital to the
sector.
