At Leading Edge Design Group, we recognize that when we value and celebrate our unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences we create a stronger, more resilient community where everyone can thrive. We are committed to driving this change by:

• Philanthropy: We invest in our community by partnering with and supporting non-profit organizations that are creating real change. Some of the organizations we have had the opportunity to support are:
> LEDA (Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America): Empowers high-achieving students from under-resourced backgrounds to succeed at top colleges.
> University of New Hampshire Inclusive Leadership Fellows: Prepares STEM teachers to promote equity and lead in diverse educational environments.
> Dinah Whipple STEAM Academy: Provides STEAM education and explores the Black experience in America for underrepresented students.
> Gift of Adoption: Offers grants to complete adoptions for children in vulnerable circumstances, giving them permanent families.

• Education and Raising Awareness: By educating our team, we empower them to challenge biases, implement inclusive policies, and achieve cultural competence. Together, we create a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.

• Supporting Minority Business Enterprises: LEDG is a vocal advocate for supporting MBEs and their vital role of driving economic growth, innovation, and community well-being in our society and business ecosystem. By intentionally partnering with and being an active ally to fellow MBEs, we contribute to their growth and success, which ultimately leads to broader economic empowerment.
