TD Ready Commitment Community Grant

TD Bank Group funds Canadian charities, not-for-profits, Indigenous communities and municipalities through the TD Ready Commitment, its community giving platform. Corporate Donations and Sponsorships support community-based projects and events that advance one of four areas: Financial Security, Vibrant Planet, Connected Communities or Better Health. Applications are reviewed in four rounds a year, and the next round closes October 5, 2026.

What you get:

• Funding for a specific community initiative; TD receives requests ranging from under $1,000 to over $1,000,000
• For a stand-alone organisation, donations are capped at $500,000 per year, for a maximum of five years
• Up to 15% of funding can go to administrative costs; staffing directly tied to delivering the initiative does not count as administrative
• For grants of $500,000 or more, up to 20% can go to related capital costs and up to 10% to evaluation

What you'll do:

• Complete a single application in TD's online portal, which TD says takes 45 minutes to several hours
• Describe your initiative, how it aligns with one or more of the four drivers, its intended outcomes and how you will measure them
• Provide your board list, current funders, organisational and initiative budgets, and how your leadership reflects the community you serve
• Say how you would use the funding and what recognition you would offer TD

Key dates:

• Round deadline October 5, 2026, with applicants notified in January
• Next rounds follow the same quarterly pattern: TD's 2026 deadlines were January 6 (notified April), April 6 (notified July) and July 6 (notified October)
• The portal stays open all year; an application that misses a deadline rolls into the next round automatically
