UW – Platteville Real Estate Foundation, Inc.

Bond financing facilitated by WHEFA was used to help the UW-Platteville Real Estate Foundation (the “Foundation”) refinance certain indebtedness.  This tax-exempt financing process has enabled the Foundation to operate more effectively by financing its capital expenses at a low interest rate.

WHEFA is proud to continue its mission of assisting all eligible Wisconsin nonprofit institutions to obtain and maintain access to tax-exempt financing in order to finance their capital improvement and expansion needs.
