Diversity and Inclusion
We participate in many outreach efforts with the aim of recognizing, encouraging and celebrating diversity and building long-term relationships with the diverse communities which we serve. In Canada, we designate at least 15% of TD’s giving to diversity-related organizations.
2013 Activities
• We implemented an explicit Anti- Discrimination Policy for all North American donations and sponsorships. Any funding requests must comply with this policy.
• TD donated $40,000 to the Out in Schools anti-bullying campaign as part of our ongoing commitment to the LGBT community.
• Together with the Black Artists’ Network and Dialogue (BAND), TD presented its fifth annual Then & Now series of cultural events showcasing the many accomplish- ments of black Canadians.
• We increased our support for Canada’s Aboriginal communities, which included sponsorship of the Assembly of First Nations 34th Annual General Assembly in Whitehorse, the 20th Métis Nation of Ontario Annual General Assembly in Ottawa and the second Queen’s Conference on Indigenous Issues in Post-Secondary Education. TD also made a major gift to the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre and supported numerous scholar- ship programs for Aboriginal students.
• The Minerva Foundation runs a comprehensive program that supports Aboriginal women seeking sustainable employment. TD provided $70,000 for the Helping Women Work and Combining Our Strength community outreach programs, which help mentor and coach Aboriginal women about career opportunities through culturally sensitive and relevant initiatives.
• Acces Employment facilitates a Talk English Café, which is a place for those new to Canada and looking for employment to come together and practice their English, network and prepare for interviews. The initiative has a strong participation rate, with over 1,300 participants in 2013.
• The Women Moving Forward program helps women break the cycle of poverty by reducing welfare dependence among single mothers. The program not only teaches women the skills needed to pursue a career but also equips them to overcome systemic barriers. We provided $50,000 in support of this project, and funds previously donated by TD helped complete a social return on investment study, which demonstrated the long-term value of the program.
