The American Land Title Association (ALTA) Good Deeds Foundation announced it is awarding a $6,000 grant to Legal Counsel for the Elderly in Washington, D.C., during the ALTA Advocacy Summit.
“Since the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation was founded in October 2020, we have awarded $982,000 in grants to 169 community nonprofits in 41 states and the District of Columbia,” Foundation Board Chair and Westcor Land Title Insurance Co. CEO Mary O’Donnell said. “Because of the overwhelming support from ALTA members, the Foundation is able to grow its meaningful work with leaders like AARP’s Legal Counsel for the Elderly.”
“This nonprofit organization champions the dignity and rights of Washington, D.C.’s elderly by providing free legal services to those in need,” ALTA CEO Diane Tomb said. “Additionally, the Legal Counsel for the Elderly helps administer Washington, D.C.’s Heirs Property Assistance Program, which aligns with ALTA’s efforts on this important topic, including how to better leverage estate planning tools and resources and how to expand access to programs and services for those with heirs’ property.”
“Legal Counsel for the Elderly is thrilled to receive this grant from the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation,” Rhonda Cunningham Holmes, executive director at Legal Counsel for the Elderly, said. “Helping people remain in their homes — including homes that are titled to a parent, grandparent or other relatives — is critical to our work on behalf of low-income older adults in D.C. Thanks to the Foundation, more of our older neighbors will age with dignity, secure in their family homes and able to pass this asset on to future generations.”
