Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 02, 2017 -- The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, recently donated a total of $7,500 to Branches as part of the foundation’s commitment to giving back to the community. A staunch commitment to active involvement in the local community is a vital element of the TD Bank philosophy.

Its Grow Program serves elementary students, preparing them for lifelong success through enrichment of their minds, bodies and hearts. The Climb Program serves middle and high school students, focusing on the development of their individual assets in order to maximize opportunities to become better students and better people. Branches’ Achieve Programs target the well-being of the entire community through services fostering financial stability. Services include the ASSETS small business solutions program, the Ways to Work car loan program for working families, free VITA tax preparation and hunger relief. Branches is also proud to house and operate the United Way Center for Financial Stability (UWCFS).
The funds from the TD Charitable Foundation will help Branches specifically fund its Achieve programs which provide a continuum of financial services that equips and enables families to achieve increased financial stability and long-term success in life. The Achieve programs create opportunity, stimulate productivity and ultimately lead to financial stability and long term success in the following areas: increasing access to knowledge, tools and resources to accomplish financial goals; increasing capacity to learn, earn, save and protect assets; and, developing the behaviors, tools and assets that promote stability and resiliency.
