About LEADING EDGE ALLIANCE INC

Leading Edge (legal name Leading Edge Alliance, Inc.) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in New York that works to strengthen the Jewish nonprofit sector by improving leadership, talent, organizational culture, and board governance. The organization delivers programs, assessments, research, and community-building services for executives, managers, professionals, and board members across Jewish organizations.

In recent years Leading Edge has expanded its field-wide reach through strategic growth and partnerships: it acquired Boardified in 2022 to deepen board leadership programming and formally united with JPro as of January 1, 2025 to create a single, larger platform serving Jewish professionals and leaders across North America. Leading Edge reports extensive programmatic reach and convening activity and files annual Form 990s that document its financial and operational scale.
