Increasing financial literacy and access to education. Helping the environment. Creating opportunities for young people. Improving access to affordable housing in the U.S. These four priorities continued to guide TD’s community investments in 2012, as we aimed to strengthen our communities for the future.

Community investment

TD has never been a company to just hand over cheques to a long list of charities and hope for the best. Our success as a company depends on the well-being of the communities we serve, so we believe in playing an active role in their development.

Our approach to community investment includes:

• Providing financial support to create change, through both donations and community development investments;

• Encouraging employees to volunteer;

• Collaborating with community partners – contributing our insights, ideas and corporate resources to help advance their work; and

• Helping organizations build capacity to increase their reach.

STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITIES Priority Areas:

• Financial Literacy and Education • The Environment • Creating Opportunities for Youth • Affordable Housing in the U.S.

Strengthen Our Communities

This approach to community involvement is in line with TD’s broader Corporate Responsibility Strategy, which emphasizes comprehensive, sustained engagement to solving problems. Over the years, we have seen our community investments effect positive changes in the areas we support and create concrete improvements in the lives of many.
