TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2023 /CNW/ - Today TD announced a donation of $250,000 to support efforts to help combat discrimination and hate in our communities through educational programs in Canada and the US. The Bank recognizes that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has far-reaching impacts, and this donation will build on the Bank's previous donations to promote inclusion and help address rising levels of antisemitism and Islamophobia.
TD is making contributions to these organizations that are providing community support programs:
These contributions build on TD's previously announced donation of $250,000 to United Jewish Appeal (UJA) Federation and Save the Children, and $500,000 donation to Save the Children and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which have been focused on providing urgent humanitarian aid and supporting families and individuals who have been impacted by this crisis. TD has donated a total of $1 million CAD in response to the conflict.
In addition to its direct contributions, TD also continues to accept in-branch donations to the Canadian Red Cross Middle East Humanitarian Crisis Appeal to provide humanitarian assistance to those impacted across the region.
