TD Bank Regional Grants

The TD Charitable Foundation’s Regional Grant program offers philanthropic funding to organizations addressing community needs across areas served by TD Bank, N.A. The Foundation was established in 2002 and operates as the charitable giving arm of TD Bank. It is guided by the TD Ready Commitment, a corporate citizenship platform focused on driving progress in financial security, a vibrant planet, connected communities, and better health. The Foundation has a clear mission to improve the quality of life in diverse, underserved, and low-to-moderate-income communities. The Regional Grant program provides funding primarily to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status or equivalent public entities such as schools or government agencies. Projects should align with the TD Ready Commitment’s core focus areas, and special preference is given to those that serve historically underserved populations or contribute to the upliftment of low- to moderate-income individuals. Applicants must be based in or serve areas within TD Bank’s metro market footprint. TD’s giving priorities also include projects that are programmatic in nature, have measurable goals, and enhance the services of the applying organization. The funding is structured on a bi-monthly calendar, with seven application rounds throughout the year. Each round comes with defined deadlines for application submission, notification of decisions, and issuance of impact reports. For example, a January 16, 2026 application deadline corresponds to decisions in late March 2026 and an impact report deadline in early December 2026. This regular cadence supports planning and impact assessment over the funding year. Grants must request at least $5,000 in support; the Foundation will not consider applications requesting less than this minimum amount. Applications must be submitted online through TD’s grant portal. The application process requires a range of documents including audited financials (or tax filings if audits are unavailable), IRS determination letters, board lists, and both project and organizational budgets. Applicants are also required to accept standard grant terms and conditions as part of the submission. Only one grant may be awarded to an organization within a twelve-month period, though multiple applications can be submitted. Review of applications occurs locally, with recommendations forwarded to the regional grants committee and ultimately approved by the Foundation's Board of Directors. Applicants will receive confirmation of submission and notification of decisions according to the calendar. A completed impact report is required approximately nine months after the grant date. Organizations will receive an email notification with instructions to complete this report through the TD Ready Commitment Network portal. Failure to submit an impact report may jeopardize eligibility for future funding. Contact information is provided for applicants based on regional location, with specific emails designated for areas such as New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and more. The TD Charitable Foundation encourages early engagement and offers responsive support throughout the grant lifecycle. As of January 2026, the Foundation is currently accepting applications for the March 13, 2026 deadline. The program recurs bi-monthly, with clearly published future deadlines throughout the calendar year. Interested applicants should consult the funding calendar and prepare their materials accordingly to ensure timely and compliant submission.
