How many times may I apply for a grant?

You may apply as many times as you would like throughout the year, but only one grant will be awarded to an organization per calendar year.

How will I know that my grant request has been received?

At the end of the application process, you will be given the option to create an account or log into an existing account. After you create an account, you will receive an e-mail confirmation for your new grant application.

Who will review my grant application and make the final funding decision?

All applications will be reviewed at the local level with final recommendations by the TD Charitable Foundation's grants committee and approved by the Foundation's Board of Directors.

Does the TD Charitable Foundation have an anti-discrimination policy?

Building an inclusive organization is a key element of the TD Charitable Foundation's giving strategy. We are working to create and sustain a diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects the communities we serve. Our commitment to diversity includes how we contribute to our communities. Projects, programs and activities funded by the TD Charitable Foundation must be consistent with this commitment.

The TD Charitable Foundation prohibits discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, veteran status, disability or other characteristic protected by law. Please indicate below whether the projects, programs and activities for which you seek funding comply with the Foundation's anti-discrimination policy:

Organizations which do not affirm their projects compliance with the TD Charitable Foundation's anti-discrimination policy are not eligible for funding from the TD Charitable Foundation.

When are funding decisions made?

Funding decisions are made three times a year at the TD Charitable Foundation's grants committee meeting. Timing for these meetings is based on county/state. See the calendar for information about your county. All applicants will be informed via mail about their grant application status early in the month following the grants committee meeting in each county/state.
