Founded in 2016, the firm partners with community mental health centers, behavioral health providers, and nonprofit social service agencies to address workforce shortages, federal and state grant acquisition, organizational health, and clinical excellence. The company reports having helped more than 40 organizations and assisted clients in securing more than $50 million in grant funding with a stated 74-75% win rate on state and federal grant applications.

INCITE delivers its services through four core practice areas: Grant Services (strategy, writing, management, and evaluation), Strategic Planning and Advisory, Clinical Excellence and Evidence-Based Practice Training (including MAT/MOUD, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and SBIRT), and Organizational and Workforce Development. The firm leverages certified partnerships with The Table Group (Working Genius assessment, among the first certified cohorts by Patrick Lencioni) and Predictive Index (certified PI specialist partner), combined with PowerBI dashboards for grant portfolio tracking and compliance. Its Community Needs Assessment methodology has been recognized by SAMHSA as a best-practice model.

Commercially, INCITE operates a relationship-based, consultative sales motion with free 30-minute discovery consultations, a services quiz, and downloadable toolkits as lead-generation tools. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements (consulting, advisory, grant writing) with project-based fees, supplemented by a recently introduced hybrid Predictive Index Starter Package priced at $19,225 that bundles subscription-based assessments with implementation support. The firm holds SBA Women-Owned Small Business certification, operates from a single headquarters office in Charlotte, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
