How We Help
Commitment to Accessibility
As a fellow nonprofit, we understand the reality of budgetary constraints. We believe leadership learning and development should never be out of reach, which is why we are committed to removing barriers for under-resourced organizations:
Support Through Funders
If your organization has a donor or funder who could invest in your leadership growth, we’re here to help. We can work with them to purchase a Leading Edge Membership on your behalf—or even on behalf of all their grantees.
Scholarship Fund
We are actively fundraising for philanthropic support to create a scholarship fund for nonprofits with budgets under $1M, those led by historically underserved communities, and organizations based in rural areas.
We are determined to ensure that every leader—regardless of budget—has access to the tools and community they need to thrive.
The Future of Leadership is Equity-Centered
Our sector’s challenges—climate crises, racial injustice, wealth gaps, political instability—require leaders equipped to build resilient, justice-driven organizations. The Leading Edge Membership offers the tools and community you need to meet these challenges head-on.
Join us today and ensure your organization is ready to make the impact our future demands.
