Nathaniel A. Barber for his invaluable contributions to the South Carolina
Community Loan Fund (SCCLF) and for his steadfast dedication to advancing
community development across the State of South Carolina; and

W
hereas, Mr. Barber
served with distinction as former chief executive officer of the South Carolina
Community Loan Fund, providing visionary and mission-focused leadership that
strengthened the organization's ability to expand access to responsible capital
and inclusive economic opportunity for individuals, small businesses, and
communities throughout the Palmetto State; and

W
hereas, with more than
twenty years of experience in the banking industry, Mr. Barber has long
championed strategic investment and responsible finance, and he was the first
to make an investment in SCCLF under the Community Reinvestment Act on behalf

development finance across South Carolina; and

W
hereas, through his
leadership and collaboration with public, private, and philanthropic partners,
Mr. Barber's efforts have contributed to meaningful investment in economic
development projects serving communities across the state, supporting job
creation, neighborhood revitalization, and long-term community resilience; and

W
hereas, in 2023, Mr.
Barber played a critical role in efforts resulting in the South Carolina
Community Loan Fund being awarded $50 million in New Markets Tax Credit
allocation from the United States Department of the Treasury, Community
Development Financial Institutions Fund and SCCLF was one of only three community
development entities in South Carolina to receive this allocation; and

Community Loan Fund receiving $75 million in New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation

further strengthen SCCLF's capacity to deliver transformative community and economic
development outcomes across South Carolina; and
