National Community Capital Association (NCCA) is a national community development financial intermediary that helps institutions and individuals provide capital that increases resources and opportunities for economically disadvantaged people and communities. NCCA provides capital, training, consulting, and information services to community development financial institutions (CDFIs).

Founded in 1986, National Community Capital represents more than 200 organizations that leverage public and private capital to revitalize our nation's poorest urban, rural, and reservation-based communities. The CDFIs in our network finance quality, affordable housing, the start-up and expansion of small businesses, and essential facilities, such as child care facilities, in economically disadvantaged communities nationwide.

The National Community Capital Childcare Financing Program, in partnership with the generous support of Providian Financial, makes available more than $11 million to support CDFI childcare financing activities. Our goal for this program is to increase the accessibility of quality childcare services for economically disadvantaged families and communities by enabling CDFIs to expand their childcare financing activities in order to increase the accessibility of quality childcare services for disadvantaged families and communities.
