The American Land Title Association (ALTA) Good Deeds Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded by ALTA, the national trade association of the land title insurance industry, announced they have awarded $6,000 to Open Arms in Kokomo.
Robin Asher at Bowe Digital in Kokomo nominated the nonprofit to receive the grant. Open Arms is one of 17 nonprofit organizations across the United States receiving a grant this month from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation. The Foundation announced the recipients of this year’s first round of biannual grants during ALTA EDge, held March 19-21 in Louisville, Ky.
“In just a few years, the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation has transformed the generosity of title professionals into tangible community impact, awarding more than $1.2 million to 211 nonprofit organizations across the country,” said Foundation Board Chair Mary O’Donnell, president and CEO of Westcor Land Title Insurance Co. and past president of ALTA. “These grants empower local organizations to continue their critical work, strengthening neighborhoods and supporting those in need.”
“The title insurance industry is built on protecting homeownership, and through the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation, we extend that commitment beyond our work and into our communities,” said ALTA CEO Diane Tomb. “By supporting nonprofits dedicated to community initiatives, we help strengthen neighborhoods and ensure families have the resources they need to build better futures.”
“We are honored to be the recipient of this grant from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation,” said Anna Brown, Director at Open Arms. “Our organization will use this grant to provide shelter and life-changing programs to homeless women and children.”
The ALTA Good Deeds Foundation was launched in 2020 to bolster the charitable efforts of ALTA members. Title insurance professionals can apply for grants on behalf of recognized 501(c)(3) organizations that they support financially or through volunteer efforts; preference is given to housing-related charities.
