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 its award of a $5,000 grant to the Canyon Lake-based Helping Hands Group.
John Hollenbeck, former executive vice president of First American Title Insurance company in Canyon Lake, nominated the nonprofit to receive the grant because of the organization’s efforts to serve low-income disabled seniors and families in crisis.
“We are honored to be the recipient of this grant from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation,” Helping Hands Group founder Bob Sasser said. “Our organization will use this grant to deliver food to the homes of shut-in low-income seniors, many of whom are disabled and unable to travel.”
Helping Hands Group is one of 26 nonprofit organizations that received a grant this month from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation. The Foundation announced the recipients of this year’s second round of biannual grants during ALTA ONE, ALTA’s largest annual event.
“My favorite season is officially grant season,” Foundation Board Chair Mary O’Donnell said. “The impact that the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation grants have on these charitable organizations is immense. We are excited to see how this round of grants helps local communities across the country develop and grow.”
To date, the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation has given away more than $550,000 in grants to 97 community nonprofits in 36 states—plus Washington D.C.—across the country.
The foundation was launched in 2020 to bolster the charitable efforts of ALTA members. Land 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. The inaugural round of grants was announced in March 2021.
