About
National Equity Fund (NEF) is a Chicago-based nonprofit investment manager specializing in affordable and supportive housing. Since 1987, NEF has raised more than $27 billion through its Low-Income Housing Tax Credit syndication platform and a suite of lending and investment services, creating over 260,000 new homes nationwide. The firm offers comprehensive asset and project management, preservation loans, and targeted programs for veterans and seniors, enabling communities to build and maintain high-quality, affordable housing. NEF’s distinctive strength lies in its collaborative, market-driven approach that blends financial innovation with a deep commitment to social impact, and its partnership with the National Community Investment Fund’s affiliate, LISC, has amplified grant‑making to support community development across the country.
