The TD Ready Challenge is an annual North American initiative that has up to ten $1 million (CAD) grants available to catalyze innovative solutions for a changing world. Recipients will be organizations that have scalable solutions that will help open doors for a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow.
This new signature initiative, created and funded by TD, is a key component to delivering on the bank’s new corporate citizenship platform, The Ready Commitment.
Each year, the TD Ready Challenge will invite eligible organizations to submit applications that offer solutions for a problem statement that is connected to one of the four drivers of change of the Ready Commitment: Financial Security, Vibrant Planet, Connected Communities and Better Health. The 2018 TD Ready Challenge Problem Statement focuses on Financial Security.
Technological acceleration is both an opportunity and a threat to financial security. The digital age has transformed the nature of work as employers continue to invest in technology and automation. In addition, part-time contracts and the gig economy have increasingly made income volatility a reality for many. These shifts create an urgent need to rethink skills development that will increase income stability and nurture a more inclusive economy.
We know that the changing nature of work is a growing issue, but we’re confident that there are scalable solutions. That is why the 2018 TD Ready Challenge seeks to provide financial support to up to 10 eligible organizations with innovative solutions focused on helping create greater income stability in a changing world. TD welcomes solutions that will help prepare people for the economy of the future so that everyone can thrive.
