The Inclusion Firm

What The Inclusion Firm does

The Inclusion Firm (legal entity Grant International, LLC) is a nonprofit management consulting practice headquartered in Miami, Florida, that provides strategic counsel, training, and direct fundraising support to mission-driven organizations across North America. Its service portfolio spans Organizational Development, Inclusive Philanthropy + Campaigns, Training + Skills Development, Interim and Fractional Development Staffing, Identity Data + Analytics, Strategic Thought Partnership Consulting, Organizational + Program Assessments, and Talent Management Strategy + Development, supplemented by Micro-Credentialing courses. The firm is led by Principal Angelique S.C. Grant, Ph.D., and operates with a bench of approximately 20 Senior Consultants, each described as having more than 15 years of practitioner experience.

The firm was developed from consulting work originally conducted under Aspen Leadership Group and now operates as a distinct, independent business, though the Principal retains a concurrent Senior Consultant role at ALG. Go-to-market is sales-led and project-based, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts; engagements typically run 3–6 months for interim staffing and vary in scope for consulting and training. Distribution is direct to enterprise and mid-market clients through virtual and on-site delivery, supported by content marketing (blog, published book 'DEI in Advancement,' weekly newsletter) and community-channel partnerships with organizations such as CASE, CFRE, the Giving Institute, and the African American Development Officers (AADO) Network.

Customer segments span nonprofits, philanthropic foundations, higher education institutions, healthcare organizations, arts and culture entities, and government agencies. The core differentiator is the integration of inclusive and DEI strategy into advancement and fundraising operations, leveraging practitioner-scholar expertise and lived experience rather than proprietary technology. Revenue figures, funding history, and employee headcount growth are not publicly disclosed.
