TD Ready Challenge


The TD Ready Challenge supports organizations developing innovative solutions for our changing world. Every year, we focus on one or more drivers of the TD Ready Commitment.

How the TD Ready Challenge works

We ask applicants to present their unique approach to addressing a problem and serving their community. This year, we asked for solutions to help disproportionately affected communities address the impacts of climate change and transition to a low-carbon economy.
