  • Official Publication of the American Land Title Association
    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN LAND TITLE ASSOCIATION 1876-1976 A Message from the President JANUARY, 1976 With the beginning of each new year, it is incumbent on all of us to evaluate not only our personal achieve­ ments in our private and business lives but also the achievements of our industry. We can be justly proud of the contributions that the members of the American Land Title Association have made to the real estate in­ dustry and we should reaffirm our dedication to improving our services for the betterment of the public and the industry. The American Land Title Association seeks to coordinate the efforts of the various state associations and the individual members in promoting public understanding of the value of our services to the public and in the improvement of those services. Many feel that the economic conditions during 1976 will be somewhat better than what we have experi­ enced in the past few years and we should use this opportunity to increase our activities as an association in those areas which will effectively inform the public and the members of various regulatory bodies of the necessity for and the value of our services. The officers and staff of our Association seek the advice of the membership and, therefore, request and urge that you now plan to attend the Mid-Winter Conference at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on March 21-24, 1976, so that your ideas and wishes can be directly communicated to your officers. On behalf of the officers and staff of the Association, we wish to express our thanks for the helpfulness of the membership and we wish all a very prosperous New Year.

  • 2014 GIVING REPORT It’S No Surprise to Us, Our Donors and the Giving Community Are Among the Most Generous in the Nation - and They Made 2014 an Incrdible Year!
    2014 GIVING REPORT It’s no surprise to us, our donors and the giving community are among the most generous in the nation - and they made 2014 an incrdible year! The donors working through the Omaha Community Foundation had a record year. They gave over $173 million to nonprofits which ranked 5th in the nation for most generous among community foundation donors. That level of giving surpassed community foundations in Chicago, New York, and Boston according to the annual report published by CF Insights. Another important milestone for the Foundation was achieved this year. We surpassed $1 billion in assets which make us the 17th largest community foundation nationally. In addition, this was a record year for people joining our family of donors – 159 accounts were opened in 2014. These milestones and record level of growth are important today, but it also means that there will continue to be community investment in our nonprofits long into the future. Our donors love this community and continue to find more ways to make it the best it can be. We exist to help them accomplish those hopes and dreams. Our community’s future is bright. The Omaha Community Foundation connects people who care about our community with the people and nonprofits who are doing the most good here. Over $1.2 billion has been granted to nonprofits on behalf of our donors. And since 1982, our family of over 1,300 donors has given over $1.6 billion to charitable giving accounts at the Omaha Community Foundation. Much has been accomplished, but we are ready to do more.

SUE from Chicago’s Field Museum was more than 40 feet long and 13 feet tall at the hip. What made this T.rex even more special was the fact that it was nearly 90 percent complete, giving scientists a rare opportunity to more deeply study the biomechanics, movement and intellect of the “king of the tyrant lizards.” But wait…there’s a new man (or perhaps woman since we can’t really tell) on campus and in the words of University of Alberta paleontologist Scott Persons, it’s the “rex of all rexes.” Its name is Scotty and at an estimated 20,000 pounds, I guess you could say that it’s got some girth.

  • 2016 GIVING REPORT As We Reflect on the Success of 2016 and Look Ahead, We Are Grateful for the Collective Efforts of All Who Helped Cultivate Generosity This Year
    2016 GIVING REPORT As we reflect on the success of 2016 and look ahead, we are grateful for the collective efforts of all who helped cultivate generosity this year. This year our donors gave 11,000 grants—a record!—to 2,349 nonprofits. And we opened 154 new donor accounts, which helps further expand our reach. With more than $1 billion in assets, we are now the 15th largest community foundation in the country, according to CF Insights. While these numbers are impressive, our biggest successes are reflected in the relationships we continue to build across our community. In 2016, we worked to deepen our impact throughout the region. We launched The Landscape, a community indicator project that uses publicly available data to gage how the Omaha metro is faring in six areas community life. This project reaffirms our commitment to meeting the community’s greatest needs, while expanding the breadth and depth of knowledge we offer. The Landscape is a space where each of us can dig deeper and learn about this community beyond our own unique experience; our hope is that this project helps inform our own work, and the efforts of our many partners and collaborators across the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. Each and every day these partners—our board, staff, the area’s nonprofit sector, and our family of donors—are driven to make this community a better place for all. Together we seek to inspire philanthropy that’s both big and small—whether it’s a new $10 donation given during Omaha Gives!, a leader influenced through our Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, or a donor that witnesses the tangible impact of their substantial gift.

But that was before a major employer decided it wanted the land. The ensuing struggle pitted the leverage of a Fortune 500 company against a vision of economic development through historic preservation. The result was the largest-ever demolition of a district listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
