The Illinois Finance Authority is one of the largest issuers of private activity bonds in the nation... IFA is a body politic and corporate created by State statute through the consolidation and elimination of seven State authorities and entities. We are authorized by the Illinois Finance Authority Act to issue tax-exempt and taxable bonds and to make and guarantee non-conventional loans. We do not receive appropriated funding from the State and operate at no cost to the taxpayer... Since our creation in January 2004, the Illinois Finance Authority (IFA) has provided access to low-cost capital to public and private institutions that are aligned with our mission of fostering economic development, creating and retaining jobs, and improving quality of life for Illinois residents. To date, our conduit financing programs have spanned every county and helped capitalize thousands of projects, assisting farmers and agri-businesses, business and industry, school districts and higher education..
