Dougherty & Company has a strong foundation in serving
the needs of non-profits, units of state and local
government, and other tax-exempt entities. These include
housing, acute care and senior living healthcare, education,
and economic development sectors. The Firm provides
a wide range of municipal finance services through
its Minneapolis headquarters and branch offices in
Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Bismarck, North Dakota.
Client Focus
Multi-Family Housing
Dougherty & Company finances multi-family housing
projects throughout the United States.
Health Care
Dougherty & Company has successfully brought cutting
edge financing methods to acute care hospitals and
senior living facilities in metropolitan and rural
markets to clients with low or below investment grade
ratings.
Charter Schools
Dougherty & Company has become a pioneer in financing
this new segment of the educational system. Our experience
in this highly specialized field provides charter school
clients with cost-effective financing options designed
to meet their unique educational needs.
Public Power
Dougherty & Company serves as financial advisor
to regional power agencies and utilities, underwriting
several issues annually.
Economic Development Agencies
The Firm acts as both underwriter and consultant
to economic development agencies in rural and metropolitan
areas. Dougherty & Company was instrumental in
obtaining legislation that grants these agencies
the ability to create state sponsored credit enhancement
programs, greatly reducing their cost of economic
development
capital.
Local Government Finance
Dougherty & Company understands the needs
of municipalities, state agencies, and state governments
with particular
expertise in states with modest populations.
State
and local government clients in modest population
states, due to a lack of regular participation
in capital markets and generally narrow tax base supporting
bond
issues often present complex challenges. Through
our offices in South Dakota and North Dakota, we
maintain
close contact with issuers.
Our banking professionals
provide financial advisory services for both competitively
sold bonds and for
negotiated underwriting services for bonds supported
by a variety of revenue sources including sales and
property taxes, utility fees, tax-anticipation pledges,
user fees, and other sources.
