TD Charitable Foundation Expands Nonprofit Training Program

The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank N.A., which operates under the trade names TD Banknorth and Commerce Bank, has announced that it has increased the funding available through the Non-Profit Training Resource Fund to $300,000, and expanded the program to support eligible organizations based throughout Commerce Bank and TD Banknorth's service area from Maine to Florida. Launched in 2007, the Non-Profit Training Resource Fund provides donations to support job training, education, and growth opportunities for employees of nonprofit organizations. The fund will provide donations of up to $1,000 each per calendar year to nonprofit organizations to cover tuition expenses for courses that will strengthen employees' job performances. To be eligible, an organization must have nonprofit 501(c)(3) status, and its focus must be to support affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals; to promote small business development; or to provide financial literacy programs to low- and moderate-income youth, individuals, or families. The organization must also be based and serve communities in Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, or Virginia, where either Commerce Bank or TD Banknorth has a presence. An online application and additional information about the Non-Profit Training Resource Fund is available at the TD Banknorth and Commerce Bank Web sites. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
