The Inner Transition Circle (ITC) is one of the distributed circles of the Hubs Group Heart Circle and as such, organizes itself through shared governance. During its first years, the Inner Transition Circle has been funded by the Heart Circle to activate the infrastructure of the circle and the initial offerings to the wider transition movement. 

Currently the ITC has 5 working circles and a lead link role coordinating the whole circle. Each working circle has an operational leader role which is responsible for stewarding that circle's purpose, budget, projects, and accountabilities. 

Working Circles:

Please make sure your invoices are aligned with your circle's budget and approved by each circle's operational leader and the ITC lead link before sending your invoice to the Open Collective platform. 

ITC will always have at least 2 admins of our Open Collective Space to approve claims. 
Current Open Collective admins for ITC: Anahi and Galen.

We will be approving/rejecting claims (invoices) every 3 or 4 months. 

After we approve a claim, it goes to the Transition Network admin team and they will need some time to approve the payment.
(TN Admin team approves payments twice a month)

To have your invoice approved, it must include:

REIMBURSEMENT
We haven't had the need yet, but you can select reimbursement to request that the ITC pays you back for a purchase you already made. Please keep receipts to upload along with your request.
