Today, TD announced the 10 recipients of the second annual TD Ready Challenge. Each organization will receive CDN $1 million (USD $7.5 million) to bolster their innovative health solutions and deliver support to underserved and remote communities across Canada and the United States. Acting as a springboard for social innovation, TD established the TD Ready Challenge in 2018 to identify and support scalable solutions to a specific issue identified within The Ready Commitment.

In 2019, the problem statement for the TD Ready Challenge was to increase equitable health outcomes that focus on preventative efforts, such as screening, early detection and intervention innovations, aimed at reducing the onset, development and severity of chronic disease and other illnesses. From over 378 submissions, TD shortlisted 15 semi-finalists who presented their solutions on November 5, 2019 in Toronto, Ontario. These semi-finalists were then judged by a panel composed of TD executives and the 10 finalists were then chosen by the panel after careful deliberation. Click here to view all the recipients.
