Nonprofit organizations can now apply to receive some of the $10 million in grants offered by the TD Charitable Foundation through its Housing for Everyone initiative. 

The foundation, which is the charitable arm of TD Bank, is marking its 20th annual Housing for Everyone program by offering the most money in the program’s history. 

This year, the program focuses on eviction prevention and early intervention strategies to promote long-term housing stability for renters in low- to moderate-income communities, according to a foundation statement. Grants of $250,000 each will be awarded to nonprofits that provide solutions intended to prevent eviction before a crisis occurs. 

“Housing remains a critical issue across our footprint and beyond, and a key step to mitigating the issue is providing early intervention tools and education to those most vulnerable,” Paige Carlson-Heim, head of Social Impact at TD Bank, said in the statement. “As we mark 20 years of the Housing for Everyone grant program, we recognize that lasting change in housing stability requires an ongoing commitment, and we are proud to support the organizations driving change through education, legal support, and more.” 

Since 2005, Housing for Everyone has provided more than $63 million to over 630 affordable housing initiatives. While median household income hasn’t grown much in that 20-year period, the foundation said home prices and rents have risen substantially, widening the housing affordability gap. The goal of the Housing for Everyone grants is to assist nonprofits across the TD Bank footprint that support communities with the preservation and development of affordable housing options. 

Past Long Island grant winners include Patchogue-based Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, which was awarded a $175,000 Housing for Everyone grant in 2024 and Ronkonkoma-based Options for Community Living, which earned a $150,000 grant in 2023. 

Since its inception in 2002, the TD Charitable Foundation has distributed over $361 million through donations to local nonprofits from Maine to Florida.
