Applications are accepted until September 13 for TD’s sixth annual TD Ready Challenge focusing on access to affordable housing for those who need it most.
TD Ready Challenge will provide up to $10 million, in support of nonprofit organizations developing innovative solutions to address systemic barriers to affordable housing in the U.S. and Canada.
Many people are impacted by the cost and availability of affordable housing, but some groups are disproportionately affected. This year, the TD Ready Challenge is seeking innovative solutions to help address systemic barriers to affordable housing across the continuum from transitional to permanent homes and to help increase access to affordable and stable housing for those who need it most.
The TD Ready Challenge is a key component of the bank’s corporate citizenship platform, the TD Ready Commitment, through which TD is dedicating $750 million to drive positive change, nurture progress, and help make the communities TD serves stronger and more inclusive. The Challenge offers ten $1 million grants, either USD or CAN depending on the country of residence of the applicant, to organizations developing innovative, impactful, measurable solutions for a changing world.

Applications are due by 4 p.m. ET on September 13, 2023.
