NAFSMA Webinar Beyond Federal Financing - Part 2: How to Think Bigger than your Traditional Financing Stack

Federal funding shouldn't be the gold standard your project's future depends on. Building on the foundation laid in the December session, this second webinar makes the case for why public agencies need to think beyond federal dollars — and shows how to get there through private capital. Through two example projects, we'll walk through real-world case studies that show the benefits of using multiple funding sources to advance a project, what private capital offers, what you need to know before pursuing it, and how to prepare your agency for it. We'll also cover how to communicate the case for moving beyond federal financing to your elected officials, finance department, and constituents — and what it takes to actually go find private capital for your own project.
