Offers Customer Support Program
Vermont Business Magazine The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, announced on Friday a grant of $150,000 to support flood relief efforts in Vermont.
The funds will support Vermont Community Foundation for the VT Flood Response and Recovery Fund, which will disperse funds to communities and small businesses of greatest need. TD colleagues also can contribute directly to the VT Flood Response and Recovery Fund efforts through an internal portal.
TD Bank's community support also includes offering financial assistance to its customers in Vermont impacted by recent severe flooding through TD Cares. TD Cares is a relief program that includes fee refunds and other support for eligible consumer and business customers.
“TD’s Vermont team knew we had to act as soon as we saw and experienced the destruction of our main streets, commercial corridors, and homes in Vermont,” said Don Baker, commercial market president of Vermont, TD Bank. “Through our contribution to the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund, we know the Vermont Community Foundation will help our local nonprofits support those with immediate needs.”
TD stepped up to help just days after the Flood Response fund was created, said Dan Smith, president & CEO of the nonprofit Vermont Community Foundation. “They were eager to make a contribution and wanted to quickly jump in to help the many Vermont residents and businesses that were impacted by flooding around the state. We are grateful to TD Bank for answering the call to action and for bringing both hope and resources to create momentum and rebuild Vermont.”
Stacie Fagan, vice president for Philanthropy at the Vermont Community Foundation, said the immediate response from TD Charitable Foundation has helped make it possible for grants from the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund to be distributed this week. “With that commitment, we knew we’d be able to get money out the door quickly to the people, businesses, and places that need it most.”
“As a member of the local community, TD stands with our customers, colleagues and neighbors in Vermont during one of the worst natural disasters to hit the state,” said Sheryl McQuade, Regional President of New England, TD Bank. “Our bankers are ready to assist the community in this time of need and ensure our customers have access to their finances.”
Customers who would like assistance through TD Cares may contact the bank with a request. To learn more, please visit https://www.td.com/us/en/personal-banking/weather-alert-phase3. Business customers should contact their relationship manager for assistance.
In addition, eligible TD colleagues impacted by the floods have access to a range of resources, including the opportunity to obtain grants of up to $1,000 from the bank to help with costs such as insurance deductibles, living expenses and repairs for related damage.
