Title: ALTA Good Deeds Foundation Takes Action to Support Flood Relief in Central Texas
In a significant display of community support, the American Land Title Association (ALTA) Good Deeds Foundation announces a $10,000 emergency grant to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. This decision comes in the wake of catastrophic flooding that has devastated Central Texas, resulting in nearly 130 fatalities and leaving over 160 individuals missing. The funds will assist local nonprofits, first responders, and government agencies engaged in recovery efforts, providing essential services such as food, shelter, and long-term rebuilding initiatives. This response not only highlights the immediate needs of the affected communities but also underscores the role the title industry plays in fostering resilience during crises.
ALTA’s CEO, Chris Morton, expresses deep solidarity with the families impacted by the disaster, reinforcing the foundation’s commitment to community-centered support. Morton emphasizes that the title industry is dedicated to contributing positively to localities, particularly in times of distress. The foundation's proactive response aims to facilitate recovery by ensuring that those on the front lines of relief efforts have the resources necessary to meet urgent needs. The collaborative effort showcases the spirit of giving that characterizes ALTA members and their willingness to mobilize quickly in the face of adversity.
Mary O'Donnell, Chair of the Foundation Board and President and CEO of Westcor Land Title Insurance Co., also highlights the urgency of the situation in Texas. She notes that the swift action made possible by the generosity of ALTA members is vital for addressing the immediate needs of the affected residents. Since its inception in October 2020, the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation has granted over $1.25 million to 213 local nonprofits across the country, reinforcing the commitment of the title industry to community support and demonstrating a long-term vision for stability and resilience in the regions they serve.
In addition to the flood relief efforts, the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation continues to advocate for the empowerment of title professionals in their charitable endeavors. The foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, focusing on fostering collaborations that enhance community welfare and resilience. Such initiatives not only address immediate crises but also lay the groundwork for sustainable support systems in vulnerable communities.
The ongoing efforts by ALTA to assist those in need serve as a reminder of the importance of industry solidarity, particularly in challenging times. By providing crucial resources and support, the title industry exemplifies its role as a cornerstone of community resilience and recovery.
