Category Archives: New Markets Tax Credits

This is our last time looking back on 2015.

2015 was a landmark year for Travois, and we hope for many of you. We celebrated our 20th anniversary, and our clients had milestone achievements — most notably the highest pricing ever paid to a tribal project ($1.

What a fun year 2015 has been!

While visiting the Colville Indian Reservation for the grand opening of the housing authority’s third Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project, we couldn’t pass up the chance to see the newly finished tribal government building in Nespelem, WA.

In our 20 years in business, we’ve been fortunate to work with extremely dedicated and hard working individuals. And even better, when a group of individuals comes together and truly works as a team to meet common goals, they produce incredible results.

When it comes to New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs), you and I know that Indian Country has the safest projects with the strongest impacts. Leaders in American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities are serving the lowest incomes with the highest needs by creating jobs and opportunities.

Last week, we announced our 20th Anniversary Superhero awardees and spotlighted the first individual.
Today we are excited to highlight and tell you more about our next two superheroes, Angela Christy and Darryl Jacobs, who are both distinguished attorneys.

Two weeks ago, Michael Bland, Brett Schwarz and I spent a few days with old friends and new contacts at the NAFOA’s Fall Finance & Tribal Economies Conference.
I had an especially good time speaking on a panel with our advisory board member Little Fawn Boland.

Travois’ job is to connect private investors with change agents throughout Indian Country. We provide the advice and capital that helps successful businesses, projects and programs grow. This gives us a glimpse into numerous aspects of life in Indian Country.

Going to the doctor’s office doesn’t sound like very much fun, does it? What does sound like fun? A car seat poncho making class? Yes. A basketball clinic? Definitely. Where is all of this fun stuff taking place? The Bad River Health and Wellness Center.
