Phase One Grant - :

This grant provided for a 'creative pause' for two or more people to take time away in a place of beauty to engage in collaborative conversations and develop ideas about how to craft a meaningful social response to the urgent challenges of climate change.

Each GP project was awarded up to $10,000 based on submitted project budget.  Up to three grants were awarded per year, with some exceptions.

Phase Two Grant - "Seeding Possibilities":

This grant was open only to Phase One grant recipients.

2011:  ITP  expanded into a Third Phase.  It was limited to ten GPs from the first three years of the program who took their innovative collaborations to deeper levels of engagement.  'Cross-pollination' among various groups of GPs was encouraged and exciting results have ensued.

2012:   ITP  opened again to new GPs and followed the same two-phase grant format of years 2007-2010.

2013-2014:   ITP invited new GPs and encouraged 2012 GPs to take their dynamic collaborations to deeper levels of engagement.

2015:   5 new Phase 1 GPs accepted into the ITP family and 4 Phase 2 GPs furthering their work.

2016:  9 new Phase 1 GPs, 4 Phase 2 GPs, and 2 Special Post-Paris COP GPs.
