CECC Bond Overview
CECC provides a variety of financial advisory services so that NCEA member schools might access tax-exempt bond financing made available through the Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority (CECFA). CECFA was established more than 30 years ago to serve educational and cultural nonprofits in Colorado and throughout the United States. To date, CECFA has issued nearly $2.5 billion in tax-exempt financing.
View the "Borrowing with Tax-Exempt Bonds" information booklet for full details.
Bonds are available to NCEA member educational institutions* such as:
- Schools
- Seminaries
- Parishes
- Colleges and universities
Bond funds may also be used for:
- Classrooms
- Research facilities
- Recreational facilities
- Administrative spaces
- Auditoriums, dining halls, food service and student services buildings
- Student housing
- Parking lots, maintenance facilities, garages
- Furnishings and equipment
*The bond funds may not be used to pay for or refinance explicitly religious structures such as chapels or other places of worship. Consult CECC if there are questions about whether a specific building is too “pervasively sectarian,” the legal term for a situation where the inherent religious use of a structure outweighs the more generally defined public benefit or secular use. Of course, the school can use non-bond funds such as contributions, investment earnings, and the like to finance religious facilities if it so chooses.
