For organizations with national and regional chapters, our preference is to provide support to national offices unless there is sound rationale for the regional chapter to apply directly. For example, the annual budget of the regional chapter is greater than the national office's or the national office is an umbrella organization with no fundraising mandate or capacity.

Does TD provide support to United Way/Centraide member agencies? TD provides substantial support to United Way organizations across Canada.
