Lisa Trummer’s decision to open a fund with the Greater Alliance Foundation is rooted in her deep connection to the city of Alliance, where she has spent her entire life. Her career with Tanner Real Estate allowed her to witness firsthand the challenges facing the community, particularly with housing, which has inspired her passion for affordable housing and supporting families.
Though she has always been a giver, it wasn’t until this year that she became involved with the Greater Alliance Foundation. The Foundation’s 25th anniversary promotion of $2,500 to open a fund appealed to her as a way to leave a meaningful legacy and become more structured and accountable in her giving. Her fund, the Tanner Real Estate Charitable Fund, connects her to the broader needs of the community, offering her insights and opportunities to help families even more.
Lisa’s commitment to giving back began during her time at Mount Union College, where she volunteered at a soup kitchen and the Alliance Area Domestic Violence Shelter. These experiences shaped her passion for helping others, a passion she now channels through her charitable fund. For Lisa, working with the foundation takes the pressure off and allows her to focus on giving in a more impactful way.
Her advice to others considering a charitable corporate fund is simple:
“Partnering with the foundation streamlines the process of giving back to Alliance as they take on the heavy lifting of connecting me with community needs. They ensure my contributions are made timely and handle all the administrative burden instead of my office staff, allowing me to focus on growing my business and investing in my community through our new fund.”
