ABOUT TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP
At TD Bank Financial Group our Community Giving Program
invests in the future of our communities through programs
focused on children and the environment.
As an Imagine Caring Company, we are committed to
giving a minimum of 1% of our annual domestic pre-tax
profits on an operating cash basis to Canadian charities.
In 2001, TD contributed $19.25 million to charitable
organizations and programs in communities across Canada,
making us one of the largest corporate contributors in
the country.
As part of our mandate, we support causes that are
important to our customers and our employees. Our
emphasis is on programs that have the greatest possible
impact on local communities and on the lives of children.
While we support a host of local, regional and national
children’s programs across Canada through direct donations,
sponsorships, gifts-in-kind and employee volunteers, we
focus our giving on four main programs: TD Friends of the
Environment Foundation, TD Canadian Children’s Book
Week, Children’s Miracle Network and TD Canada Trust
Scholarships for Outstanding Community Leadership.
Our communities
TD Friends of the
Environment Foundation
TD promotes a healthy environ-
ment for Canadians through our
TD Friends of the Environment
Foundation.
This unique non-profit program
involves customers, employees
and TD in support of environ-
mental initiatives. Since its
inception in 1990, TD Friends of
the Environment Foundation has
provided more than $27 million
to fund more than 11,000
environmental projects.
TD Canadian Children’s
Book Week
TD encourages children to
read by sponsoring TD Canadian
Children’s Book Week.
Created with the Canadian
Children’s Book Centre, the
program hosts presentations and
workshops by Canadian children’s
authors and illustrators at local
libraries and schools across
Canada. This year, TD gave a
storybook called Young Authors’
Day at Pokeweed Public School
by John Bianchi to over
425,000 grade one students
in Canada.
Children’s Miracle Network
TD promotes the health of chil-
dren by sponsoring the Children’s
Miracle Network, a network
of hospitals serving over two
million children across Canada
each year.
This year, customers and employ-
ees raised over $1.2 million
for Children’s Miracle Network
hospitals and foundations.
TD Canada Trust Scholarships

their goals by honouring 20
exceptional high school students
every year with a scholarship
based on their outstanding
community leadership.
Each scholarship is valued at
up to $50,000 and includes full
