Nominate Someone for the Heart of UA and Changemaker Awards

The Heart of UA Award recognizes the cumulative philanthropic and volunteer efforts of an individual, family, or family foundation over a period of five (5) or more years of exceptional generosity who, through direct financial support, demonstrates outstanding civic and charitable responsibility and whose generosity encourages others to take philanthropic leadership roles in the community. Candidates will specifically demonstrate significant, long-term involvement with one or more Upper Arlington nonprofit organizations.

Prior recipients include: Tim and Glenda Huffman (2019), Mary Ann Krauss (2020), Sue Ralph (2022), the Ness Family: Lynn and Bob, Emily and John (2023), Kip Greenhill (2024), the Crane Family: Loann and Bob Crane, Shannon and Robert Crane, Tanny Crane and John Wolff, Deidre Harrison and Tom Crane, Jamie Crane and Tim Miller (2025), Lisa Ingram and Greg Guy (2026).

The Changemaker Award recognizes someone who is actively driving positive change in Upper Arlington today. This honor celebrates someone who brings fresh perspective, energy, and initiative to the community — turning ideas into action and responding to emerging needs in meaningful ways. A Changemaker is not defined by years of service, but by impact: the ability to mobilize others, challenge the status quo, and help UA grow stronger, more connected, and more responsive to the moment we're in.

Inaugural recipients include: Megan Hall of the Beehive Alliance (2026), Annie and Jim Stair of the Red Oak Family Foundation (2026)
