'Gilboa Ascent') is a religious kibbutz located on the summit of Mount Gilboa, on the northeast end of the ridge of the Samarian hills in Israel.

As they are both religious kibbutzim, it was decided that, although they are located in the Gilboa mountains (and would naturally fall under the jurisdiction of Gilboa Regional Council) it would be better to include them in Beit She'an Valley Regional Council, where there is a group of religious kibbutzim, including Ein HaNatziv, Sde Eliyahu, Shluhot and Tirat Zvi.

[citation needed] As with most kibbutzim in Israel today, Ma'ale Gilboa is in the process of privatization.

In 2007-2008 the kibbutz began building additional housing units for families interested in joining the community.

[citation needed] The main sources of livelihood are agricultural; growing carrots, dairy farming, and raising turkeys for meat.
