		<description><![CDATA[Each year, the Leadership UA cohort takes on one of our favorite traditions — stepping into the role of grantmakers and deciding how to distribute $10,000 in funding to local nonprofits. This year&#x00027;s cohort did not disappoint. We are proud to share the 2026 grant recipients:


	Bailey&#x00027;s Clubhouse | $4,078 for Bailey&#x00027;s Peaceful Play Project, a calming support zone within their no-cost childcare setting serving children ages 3 months to 6 years whose parents are undergoing cancer treatment.
	Common Greens at the UA Farmers Market | $2,300 for Seasoned Stories, an 18-week intergenerational program pairing UA seniors with a student intern for weekly farmers market visits.
	Rainbow UA | $1,350 for a Family Pool Night serving LGBTQIA+ students and families in our community.
	Sustainable UA | $1,072 for a permanent sign at the Wickliffe Elementary School bioretention area supporting continued student learning and environmental stewardship.

		<title>Introducing 2026 Heart of UA Honorees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lisa Ingram and Greg Guy

2026 Heart of UA Honorees

Lisa Ingram and Greg Guy have been extraordinary champions of philanthropy and civic engagement in Upper Arlington and throughout Central Ohio. Their support of community initiatives and nonprofit organizations reflects a genuine commitment to improving lives, expanding opportunity, and investing in the long-term health of our region — and it all started when they were young professionals who simply chose to get involved. Decades later, their impact is both deep and far-reaching. Greg and Lisa&#x00027;s story is a powerful reminder that lasting change begins with a single step, and that the leaders we need tomorrow are already in our community today. We hope their example inspires the next generation to follow in their footsteps.

Meg Hall | Beehive Alliance

Inaugural Changemaker Honoree

Meg Hall has spent her career and volunteer life building stronger support systems for children and families. As a mother of two and former preschool teacher,]]></description>
