In-School Programs

Business skills and financial savvy are essential in today's world. As part of our commitment to education, TD supports several quality programs delivered in schools that introduce students to these valuable areas.

Junior Achievement
JA develops programs so young people can discover the world of commerce and economics. TD is proud of our longstanding support of JA. Each year TD puts its support behind national and local chapters of Junior Achievement across Canada in two major ways:

• Financially - $233,000 was contributed in 2007 alone.
• With a volunteer force of several hundred employees, TD employees travel to classrooms to bring JA's Economics of Staying in School curriculum to life and to share their own work and life experiences.

There's Something About Money
An initiative of the Canadian Bankers Association, this seminar program is delivered in high schools across the country and teaches essential lessons in financial management.

There are over 140 active TD volunteers in the program who actually deliver the sessions. Learn more at www.yourmoney.cba.ca.

Youth and Philanthropy Initiative
Launched in 2002, this unique program of the Toskan Casale Foundation is designed to help students in Grades 9 and 10 learn social responsibility and become active in changing their communities through philanthropy.

Students research, visit and champion one charity group in need of funding, and winners are given $5,000 to present to the charity they represented. With TD's assistance, over 100 charities received a $5,000 donation under this program in 2007. For more details, visit www.toskanfoundation.org/ypi.html.

Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship (ACE)
ACE is a national not-for-profit organization that provides innovative, hands-on entrepreneurship training programs for students. TD funding helps ACE run its Students in Free Enterprise program at universities and colleges across Canada. In 2007, TD Bank Financial Group increased its support for ACE and established ACE's second official National SIFE Topic Competition called the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Challenge".
