California Communities issues Qualified 501(c)(3) Bonds (the "Bonds") to finance the acquisition, construction, installation, expansion or rehabilitation of land, buildings, and equipment to be owned by a nonprofit organization as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code of 1986 (including religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary or educational purposes). The interest on the Bonds is exempt from federal income taxes; therefore, a nonprofit organization can finance capital projects at a lower interest than conventional financing. The Bonds are limited obligations of California Communities, serving as conduit issuer, payable solely from revenues or other funds provided by the nonprofit organization. In addition to the conduit bond issue program, California Communities can assist nonprofit organizations seeking to finance projects from $1.0 million to $5.0 million through its Small Issue Public Benefit Program. The California Communities Program Manager will work with the nonprofit organization to privately place the tax-exempt note with a qualified institutional buyer. The Small Issue Public Benefit Program advantages include low-cost access to tax-exempts markets at a fixed-rate and flexible terms. Since its inception, CSCDA has issued more than $10 billion in Qualified 501(c)(3) bonds for more than 250 nonprofit organizations throughout California. Fees California Communities charges an issuance fee and annual administration fee for all Bonds issued.
