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 2024 TD Ready Challenge works

In 2024, we asked for applications from non-profit organizations with innovative approaches to supporting underserved small business owners who were developing, launching or growing a business.

We encouraged applicants to present new strategies, technologies or partnerships with the potential to disrupt systemic barriers for entrepreneurs, helping to create a more inclusive and supportive entrepreneurial landscape.
