River Gorge Capital

Overview

River Gorge Capital (RGC) is a privately managed investment institution, or Community Development Entity (CDE), designed to stimulate economic growth by investing in businesses in underserved areas. RGC helps qualifying businesses structure and secure investment capital through the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program, established by Congress in 2000 to attract investment capital to low-income communities. The NMTC Program permits individual and corporate investors to receive a tax credit against their Federal income tax return in exchange for making equity investments in specialized financial institutions called Community Development Entities (CDEs). The credit totals 39 percent of the original investment amount and is claimed over a period of seven years. RGC's mission is to empower businesses in low-income communities by providing access to capital and resources necessary for growth and development. RGC's investment strategy focuses on sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, and private equity, targeting growth, late-stage, and buyout opportunities. By leveraging the NMTC program, RGC aims to attract investment capital to low-income communities, thereby promoting economic growth and revitalization. The firm's approach is centered on identifying and supporting businesses that have the potential to make a significant impact in their communities, fostering sustainable development and long-term success. RGC's commitment to community development is reflected in its strategic investments, which are designed to create jobs, enhance local economies, and improve the quality of life for residents in underserved areas. Through its targeted investment approach, RGC seeks to bridge the gap between capital availability and the needs of low-income communities, contributing to the broader goal of economic inclusion and revitalization. The firm's focus on real estate, infrastructure, and private equity allows it to address a wide range of community development needs, from housing and commercial development to essential services and infrastructure improvements. By combining financial expertise with a deep understanding of community dynamics, RGC strives to create investment opportunities that deliver both financial returns and social impact, aligning with its mission to revitalize low-income communities and promote economic growth.
