This annual celebration of nonprofits and civic activism offers real inspiration. The focus it brings to community leaders and investors encourages foundations and corporations to look closer at hands-on support. The spotlight it gives to energetic and effective grass-roots nonprofits demonstrates how effective and efficient that support - in time and funding - can be. This is also the primary reason why TD Bank has chosen to be a corporate sponsor for the Gala.
