The Leadership Now Project is an organization of business and thought leaders committed to protecting and renewing American democracy.

Founded in 2017 by a group of Harvard Business School alumni, today the Leadership Now Project has members across more than 25 states, with local chapters in seven, representing a variety of industries and perspectives. Leadership Now collaborates with faculty at 15+ colleges and universities.

In 2023-24 the organization is focused on:

Preventing a further slide away from democracy, by proactively responding to risks of election interference, political retribution and disinformation.
Advancing targeted, effective interventions in states to respond to risks, and support systems reforms and innovations.
Supporting highly-qualified, pragmatic candidates in critical races.

How Leadership Now Has Impact - Informing and educating our members on the key threats and opportunities facing democracy is one of our primary areas of impact. Additionally, collaboration with academics, thought-leaders, and leading nonprofits enables members to have impact through their:

Influence: As trusted leaders in their businesses, communities, and networks, members champion democracy priorities and engage others to do the same.
Expertise: Utilizing their business acumen, our members advance effective solutions to complex democracy issues.
Investment: Members invested more than $70M+ in pro-democracy candidates and organizations in the 2022 cycle.
