TD Bank gives $50K to D.C. housing nonprofits
Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 10:52am EST
Three local nonprofits won grants from TD Bank, which will be used to support affordable housing initiatives.
Under its fifth annual “Housing For Everyone” program, the bank’s charitable arm is giving $2 million to grant competition winners — a $500,000 increase in program awards from 2008. There were almost 500 proposals, and 56 nonprofits from Maine to Florida won the grants. Grant awards ranged from $10,000 to $100,000.
Three local groups will get $50,000:
- Falls Church-based Shelter House Inc.,
- D.C.-based SOME Inc. and
- Alexandria-based Wesley Housing Development Corp. of Northern Virginia.
Winners will find out how the funding is divvied up on Thursday at the TD Bank at 1611 Wisconsin Ave. NW at noon. Recipients will use the money for projects that stabilize the housing environment in communities where TD Bank is present.
