64 Performance in 2012

In 2012, our community investment strategy continued to achieve strong results:

• Corporate donations of $65.3 million helped support and empower more than 6,000 not-for-profit organizations across North America and the U.K. in carrying out their missions. Donations in Canada continued to rise last year but declined in the U.S. and U.K.

• We worked successfully to focus our support in TD’s four priority areas: financial literacy and education, the environment, creating opportunities for young people, and affordable housing in the U.S. Almost 60% of our total giving was aligned to these strategic priorities. Beyond dollars, we contributed business expertise, marketing support and thousands of TD volunteers to assist community partners – bringing our vast resources to the table for greater impact.

• In addition to our four priority areas, we were responsive to many local causes and immediate needs. TD contributed funding to support diversity programs, hospitals, social services and the arts. We also rallied to help relief efforts in U.S. states battered by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, donating $500,000 to the Red Cross and creating an assistance program for affected customers.

• We also encouraged and facilitated $5.8 million in customer donations to the Children’s Miracle Network and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and employee donations of $14 million for United Way.
