Corporate Giving Overview
Making a Difference Together.
At TD Bank, we are working day after day, year after year, to make stronger, more vibrant and prosperous communities through the efforts of our Employees and our ongoing financial commitment.
Through the TD Charitable Foundation, we focus our grantmaking in specific areas to help sustain the well-being of the communities we serve. We support individual opportunities to create successful lives in the areas of Affordable Housing and Education/Financial Literacy.
Grants are made only to qualified, federal tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, and should support specific program initiatives that must be detailed in the grant application. The TD Charitable Foundation limits grants to community-based organizations that service communities in which we do business.
The TD Charitable Foundation focuses on the following areas of giving:
- Affordable Housing
This includes community revitalization and the preservation and development of affordable housing.
- Education/Financial Literacy
This includes reading, writing, math and financial literacy for all ages, pre- and after-school programs that reinforce basic learning skills, English as a second language, tutoring and mentorship, and education-focused youth development programs and initiatives.

Separate from the TD Charitable Foundation, TD Bank provides sponsorship funding to organizations within our communities. Sponsorships are funds paid by TD Bank to any eligible organization – whether for-profit or non-profit – that provides the bank with marketing opportunities. We handle sponsorships both at the corporate (Marketing Sponsorships) and local levels (Community Sponsorships).
As a sponsor, TD Bank hopes to achieve one or more of the following goals within the communities we serve:
- Enhance the visibility of TD Bank
- Position TD Bank as a corporate leader
- Provide an opportunity to introduce TD Bank to new customers and to strengthen relationships with existing customers
- Raise funds for the benefit of non-profit organizations
TD Bank Marketing Sponsorships are investments in properties, events and causes that are designed to increase our brand awareness and improve the goodwill of our company as part of an overarching marketing and public relations strategy.
Community Sponsorships provide TD Bank with opportunities to build meaningful relationships with our communities, employees, and existing and prospective customers. These opportunities may be promotional (e.g., booth, program ads, etc.), entertainment (e.g., tickets, tables, etc.) or of community relations value.
