THRIVE Partnership

Incite Network is proud to expand our partnership with Doña Ana County, New Mexico to implement the THRIVE Strategic Plan—a bold, community-driven roadmap designed to spark positive, lasting change across our region.

Our Commitment, Our Collaboration

Together with Doña Ana County, we’re building real, sustainable impact by:

  • Facilitating different planning sessions that elevate various community voices

  • Aligning resources to community priorities for maximum impact on how the community understands County budgeting

  • Securing critical funding through grant awards and promoting transparent, accountable governance

  • Fostering cross-sector collaboration among government, nonprofits, business, and residents

Investing in the Next Generation

THRIVE puts special emphasis on empowering local youth. Through mentorship, paid internships, and youth-led initiatives, we’re helping nurture the next generation of community leaders. As Chair Schaljo-Hernandez shares:

“By teaching and mentoring at a generational level, we’re not just planning for our community’s future—we’re actively investing in those who will lead it.”

Make it stand out

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

THRIVE

From Vision
to
Impact.

One County Is Leading the Way.

Across the nation, counties are being asked to do more with less. To solve complex problems with outdated systems. To meet needs that were never met by design. Doña Ana County said, Enough. They chose something different. They chose THRIVE.

What If Government Could Be a Force for Bold Change?

Incite Network is helping Doña Ana County turn community vision into funded, implementable strategy. But the real breakthrough? A new model of public sector transformation that any county can adopt.

What if…

  • Your strategic plan was co-authored with residents?

  • Your budgets aligned with your values?

  • Your youth were not just heard but hired?

  • Your funding wasn't a barrier, but a breakthrough?

This Partnership Proves It’s Possible

Together with Doña Ana County, we’re showing how local government can lead real transformation by grounding every action in what people truly need to thrive. The work is anchored in the Seven Vital Conditions for Well-Being, a nationally recognized framework that Incite enhances with an eighth pillar: innovation.

  • Belonging and Civic Muscle
    Community voice is not only included, it drives the work.

  • Basic Needs for Health and Safety
    Systems are built to meet both urgent and long-term needs.

  • Humane Housing
    Every person deserves housing that is safe, stable, and dignified.

  • Meaningful Work and Wealth
    Economic mobility is not a promise, it’s a practice.

  • Lifelong Learning
    People grow, adapt, and lead at every stage of life.

  • Reliable Transportation
    Infrastructure connects people to opportunity, safely and affordably.

  • Thriving Natural World
    Environmental stewardship is woven into policy and planning.

  • Innovation and Invention
    New ideas are not optional. They’re essential to leap forward.

This framework is not theoretical. It’s what guides every listening session, every policy recommendation, and every dollar moved through this partnership.

This work is replicable. Scalable. Adaptable to your geography, your goals, your people.
