TD Charitable Foundation Offers Grants to Support Housing Stabilization
Deadline: September 4, 2009

The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank and TD Banknorth, has announced that it will make available a total of $2 million in grants to support affordable housing initiatives from Maine to Florida through its “Housing for Everyone” grant competition.

For 2009, the Housing for Everyone grant competition focuses on stabilizing the housing environment through the innovative efforts of local affordable housing nonprofit organizations. The competition will fund the most innovative plans that produce a quantitative difference in helping families stay in their homes or help maintain and protect the integrity of neighborhoods from deterioration caused by foreclosure and abandonment.

The foundation will award fifty-six grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 to eligible housing nonprofits that submit compelling proposals for innovative projects designed to stabilize the housing environment in the communities where TD Bank and TD Banknorth do business.

Nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply if they have a valid 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS and audited financial statements. Applicant organizations must develop or maintain affordable housing or provide housing-related programs and services targeted to low- and moderate-income individuals and families. Programs must be located in one or several TD Bank N.A. market areas (selected counties of Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia metro area, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York City metro area, upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont).

Visit the TD Charitable Foundation Web page for complete program application materials, including a list of eligible market areas.
