Cities of all sizes rely on tax-exempt municipal bonds as a critical tool to finance infrastructure projects and essential public services. These bonds help fund everything from schools and hospitals to roads and utilities—projects that are vital to the well-being of communities across the country. However, with Congress expected to focus on sunsetting tax provisions next year, the National League of Cities (NLC) anticipates that tax-exempt municipal bonds may be at risk.
NLC, in collaboration with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), is launching the #BuiltByBonds campaign to undeniably demonstrate the importance of tax-exempt municipal bonds in every congressional district nationwide.
This initiative aims to illustrate the vast impact of tax-exempt municipal bonds in every congressional district and community in America. Showcasing real-world examples of infrastructure projects funded by tax-exempt bonds and emphasizing their importance to lawmakers will be crucial in their survival.

Local officials can help educate Congress on this issue by populating this map using this form with one project that has been partially or fully funded through tax-exempt municipal bonds. The information on the map will allow congressional members and staff to search for projects financed with municipal bonds in their own state and congressional district.
