What does Nantucket Project do?

The Nantucket Project (TNP) is a non-profit organization and media company focused on fostering civil discourse and promoting pluralism in America. Founded in 2010 by Tom Scott and Kate Brosnan, TNP is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, with strong ties to Nantucket, Massachusetts, where it hosts its flagship annual event. The organization aims to create platforms for meaningful conversations that inspire positive change. TNP's core activities include an annual four-day Ideas Festival on Nantucket Island, which attracts around 600 attendees, including world leaders, artists, and thought leaders. The festival features intimate discussions, live performances, and film screenings, all centered around a specific theme each year. Additionally, TNP runs the "Courageous Conversations" program on college campuses, trains participants in pluralistic discourse, and produces original films and podcasts that tackle complex societal issues. Through these initiatives, TNP seeks to build communities committed to understanding and empathy.
