Private Colleges and Universities
and 501(c)3 Organizations

Indiana is fortunate to have over thirty private colleges and universities with a diverse array of sizes, specialties and geographic locations. Each of these 501(c)3 organizations is permitted to borrow through a conduit organization -- either the Indiana Finance Authority or city and county economic development commissions -- in order to obtain tax-exempt bond financing. City Securities Corporation has been a strong supporter of the state authority and one of our professionals previously served on its board for a number of years. We have financed various classroom, dormitory, athletic and refinancing projects for our state’s public and private colleges during the past twenty-five years. Look to us for competitive financing terms and innovative ideas. 

Similar strategies may be used for other not-for-profit organizations, depending on their circumstances. We have been able to finance projects for private secondary schools, local charitable organizations, and similar 501(c)3 groups (such as the YMCA and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle) when a solid financial plan is behind the project.
