MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO

Omaha Together One Community

Dear Friends: 

OTOC's 35+ member institutions bring together people from different faith traditions, races, socio-economic levels, and geographic regions of the city to work for the common good of our community in a way that few organizations do.

OTOC is an organization of congregations and other institutions from across the Omaha metro-area that work together to create standing and voice for as broad and diverse a constituency as possible.  During the past ten years, OTOC has forged the energy of thousands of metro-area residents into a broad-based collective acting for the common good.  Our institutions are proud to be a members of OTOC and part of not only being able to imagine a community that works for all but also putting our faith into action to make it a reality. 

In recent months OTOC has:

  • Organized research committees on education, health care, and immigrant issues
  • Held community forums on education after identifying three criteria on which to base any plan including: 1) shared responsibility for all students by all taxpayers in the metro area; 2) equity in opportunity and funding in proportion to need; and 3) promotion of  positive diversity in class and ethnic relations throughout the entire community
  • Held a rally at the Capitol, culminating in 31 meetings with individual senators to discuss education, health care and drivers certificates for  immigrants
  • Trained hundreds of seniors on Medicare Part D;  Supported LB712 to lower drug costs to families and individuals in Nebraska
  • Worked with senators to pass Legislative Resolution 355 which provides for a legislative study and public hearings in 2006 on Drivers Certificates for immigrants in Nebraska
  • Led initiatives to organize rallies in support of comprehensive and just immigration reform
  • Held a forum with gubernatorial candidates on the OTOC Agenda including: 1) Educational equity, adequacy and accountability; integration; 2) Relief for the high cost of prescription drugs; 3) Nebraska drivers certificates for immigrants

Dues from member congregations provide a baseline of support for the work of OTOC and account for approximately one-half of OTOC’s income.  The remainder of the income results from the investment of individuals, businesses and other organizations who share OTOC’s vision and values and who want to be part of shaping a community that works for all.

We hope you will consider making a financial contribution to OTOC.
