"When we met Kyle Walton, we could never have known the impact he would have on our agency.  His expertise and wise counsel provided to our board, our staff and our funders enabled us to feel comfortable with the New Market Tax Credit environment.  There were no questions he was unable to easily answer for us.  WALIPP recommends Kyle to any organization who wants to succeed through this process -- his single-minded focus on our agency and guaranteed our success!”​
