GRANT REQUIREMENTS

WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW PROPOSALS

---

The Invoking The Pause program has shifted to an invitation-only process at this time. Please see our Climate Challenge Cohort page for updates.

---

Grant Partners ("GPs") are required to:

• For first time GPs, Pause must take place by September 30th.
  

• Seeding Possibilities GPs and Blossoming Possibilities GPs must complete their project by September 30th of the year in which the grant is awarded.
  

• Must participate in the annual fall Summit to present a brief synopsis of their project to the ITP community.  The Summit is a "collective pause" and creates engagement with other current and former Grant Partners as well as "allies" from various business and non-profit disciplines. Some GPs, from outside of the Bay Area, will be issued travel stipends to attend the Summit. 
  

• Write a blog post for the ITP website - sharing experiences, lessons learned or networking results with other Grant Partners and colleagues.

• Must partake in a phone or virtual interview with a member of the ITP team at the conclusion of the project, in lieu of a formal written report.
  

• Complete a detailed accounting at the conclusion of their "pause" indicating how grant funds were spent.
