TD Bank Regional Grants

The TD Charitable Foundation, established in 2002 as the philanthropic arm of TD Bank, has contributed over $361 million to nonprofit organizations across the United States. The Foundation supports initiatives aligned with its commitment to improving quality of life in diverse communities. Its funding priorities reflect TD Bank’s corporate responsibility platform, with the overarching mission of strengthening communities and creating inclusive, sustainable opportunities for economic and social advancement. The TD Charitable Foundation offers several funding avenues. These include regional grants, the "Housing for Everyone" annual initiative, and the Capacity Building Fund. Regional grants are designed to support local nonprofit programming in areas where TD Bank operates, fostering community-based impact. The "Housing for Everyone" initiative is focused specifically on increasing access to affordable housing, addressing a critical and growing need across many of the bank’s service regions. The Capacity Building Fund supports infrastructure and operational improvements within nonprofit organizations, including training, staffing, and strategic planning efforts to build long-term sustainability. Grants issued by the Foundation are available to nonprofit organizations only. Eligible applicants are typically 501(c)(3) designated entities. No specific eligibility criteria, such as program size, organizational age, or revenue thresholds, were provided in the public documentation. Instead, applicants are advised to review individual grant program guidelines to ensure alignment with eligibility and funding objectives. There is no indication that government entities, individuals, or for-profit businesses are eligible for these programs. Applications for the Foundation’s funding opportunities are submitted through distinct channels depending on the specific grant initiative. The regional grant portal includes comprehensive application guidelines, a funding calendar, and an FAQ section to help guide potential applicants. For the "Housing for Everyone" initiative and the Capacity Building Fund, applicants are instructed to make direct inquiries using contact links provided, suggesting a more curated or invitation-based application process. No specific information is provided about application forms, narrative questions, budget templates, or evaluation criteria. No application deadlines, award ceilings, or floor amounts are disclosed. The recurring nature of the “Housing for Everyone” initiative suggests an annual submission cycle, but no definitive dates are given for the current or next round. Similarly, funding amounts for awarded grants are not listed, nor is the total funding pool disclosed. The same holds true for information about prior awardees. The website also includes a community stories section, indicating an interest in spotlighting grant outcomes, though it does not serve as an archival record of past awards. Applicants are encouraged to contact the TD Charitable Foundation directly for clarification regarding eligibility, application procedures, or grant specifics. No email addresses or direct contact names are published, but the Foundation appears to field inquiries through general contact forms or web-based intake systems associated with each funding stream.
