The Central Ohio Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is honored to announce that Mark Greaves, CEO of Tithe Lending and founder of the Tithe Foundation, has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 Central Ohio FCA Legend Award. This year’s prestigious honor recognizes an individual who has leveraged their professional influence to further the gospel and make a lasting impact in the community.

Greaves will be formally recognized at the upcoming FCA Legends Luncheon event, scheduled for April 23, 2026. The Central Ohio FCA community comprised of athletes, coaches, church and business partners, will gather to celebrate his transformative contributions to local non-profits and his unwavering commitment to spreading the love of Jesus Christ.

Throughout his career, Greaves has demonstrated visionary leadership by creating innovative financial solutions for faith-based organizations through Tithe Lending, and by empowering Central Ohio non-profits with essential resources and support via the Tithe Foundation. His passion for uplifting others—and his firm dedication to serving Christ—has touched countless lives and strengthened charitable work across the region.

“Mark Greaves’ faith-driven leadership stands as a powerful example of what it means to serve others with integrity,” said Aaron Quinn, Area Director for Central Ohio FCA. “This award, selected by our advisory board, recognizes Mark not only for his professional achievements, but for the eternal impact he’s making in the lives of so many across Central Ohio. We look forward to being a witness to his continued stewardship in Central Ohio.”

Reflecting on receiving the news of the award, Greaves shared, “I was both surprised and deeply grateful to learn that I had been chosen as the 2026 FCA Legend. To represent such an incredible community of Christian athletes is truly humbling. Sharing the love of Jesus and keeping Him at the center of my life is the greatest privilege I have, and sports have played a significant role in shaping that focus and discipline. I am incredibly honored and excited for this opportunity.”

A former standout volleyball player at Ohio State University, Greaves has carried forward the discipline, teamwork, and resilience he learned in athletics into every aspect of his business and charitable endeavors.

The FCA Legend Award is given annually to a leader who uses their platform to advance faith, inspire others, and serve the community with selfless purpose.
