Two Decades of Commitment: TD Charitable Foundation Ups Housing Support to $10M as Nonprofit Grant Program Reaches Milestone

The TD Charitable Foundation is making its biggest push yet in the fight against housing instability, announcing a $10 million funding round for its Housing for Everyone initiative as the program hits its 20-year mark. This year’s grants—distributed in $250,000 packages to select nonprofits—represent a record investment in a program that has already channeled over $63 million to more than 630 affordable housing projects across America since 2005.

A Widening Affordability Crisis Demands New Solutions

The numbers tell a sobering story about today’s rental market. Over the past two decades, home prices have climbed 65% while rents jumped 20%—yet median household incomes have barely budged. This growing gap between wages and housing costs is pushing more renters into precarious situations, where even small disruptions like missed rent payments or sudden income loss can trigger eviction.

The TD Charitable Foundation’s 2026 initiative targets this critical gap through eviction prevention and early intervention strategies. Rather than waiting for crises to unfold, the program funds nonprofits deploying proactive solutions: legal support for renters navigating lease disputes, financial counseling to help people stay current on payments, and education programs addressing the gaps that leave vulnerable households exposed.

“Housing stability doesn’t happen by accident,” noted Paige Carlson-Heim, Head of Social Impact at TD Bank. “It requires consistent support, education, and legal protection for those facing the steepest challenges.”

How the Program Has Evolved

When Housing for Everyone launched in 2005, affordable housing was already a concern. Two decades later, it’s become a crisis. The TD Charitable Foundation has adapted its approach each year based on what communities actually need. During the pandemic, for instance, the foundation shifted focus to immediate relief—awarding $5.8 million to 33 organizations in 2021 so nonprofits could expand emergency assistance and help renters keep their homes during unprecedented economic disruption.

Wesley Housing, which has received grants seven times, exemplifies how consistent support multiplies impact. The organization used TD funding to expand services across Virginia and Washington, D.C., reaching more individuals and families at risk of homelessness.

Getting in the Door: 2026 Application Details

The TD Charitable Foundation is accepting applications through November 25, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Grantees will be announced in April 2026. Eligible nonprofits should focus on demonstrating how their programs prevent eviction, stabilize housing for low- to moderate-income renters, and build long-term community resilience.

More information and application access are available on the foundation’s website. This funding cycle represents an opportunity for organizations working in housing to access meaningful resources—and for renters across TD’s service area from Maine to Florida to benefit from expanded nonprofit capacity.

The TD Charitable Foundation, established in 2002, has distributed over $361 million to local nonprofits. The Housing for Everyone program remains one of its flagship commitments to building more stable, inclusive communities.
