TD Charitable Foundation Offers Support for Affordable Housing
Deadline: September 12, 2008

The TD Charitable Foundation (http://www.commerceonline.com/communityrelations/overview.cfm) has announced that it is accepting proposals from housing nonprofits in the communities where Commerce Bank (http://commerceonline.com) and TD Banknorth (http://tdbanknorth.com) do business for funding through the 2008 ‘Housing for Everyone’ competition.

The competition will provide support for operational funding for fiscally responsible organizations that have made and continue to make a meaningful difference in the affordable housing landscape of their community.

Applicant organizations for the 2008 competition must serve communities within Commerce Bank or TD Banknorth’s current markets.  Organizations must have tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status and must develop or maintain affordable housing, or provide housing-related programs and services to very-low, low-, and moderate-income individuals or families.

A total of $1.5 million will be awarded for applications that best meet the eligibility criteria. Grant guidelines and the online application are available at the Commerce Bank Web site.
