Helping non-governmental organizations expand their capacity to elevate our world

Discover how PMI can offer substantial support. Project Management Institute (PMI)® provides significant assistance to non-governmental organizations (NGO) in various ways.

Let's work together 
Training and certifications

We offer globally recognized certifications like the Project Management Professional (PMP)® and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)®. These certifications enhance the project management skills of NGO staff. We also provide access to a wide range of training resources, including online courses, workshops, and seminars, which empower NGO staff to develop their project management capabilities.

Networking opportunities

We're thrilled to host engaging conferences, meetings, and local chapter events that offer fantastic opportunities for NGOs to connect with project management professionals, exchange best practices, and gain insights from others' experiences. Building these connections paves the way for valuable partnerships and collaborations that greatly benefit the NGO's projects and initiatives.

Grant and funding support

PMI Educational Foundation (PMIEF) offers grants and scholarships to NGOs for Project Management training and development. This financial support helps NGOs enhance their project management skills and capabilities. PMIEF also provides resources specifically tailored to the needs of NGOs, empowering them to manage projects more effectively and efficiently.

Access to resources

We publish a wealth of knowledge through standards, guides (like the PMBOK Guide®), whitepapers, case studies, and articles that equip NGOs to improve their Project Management practices. NGOs use our templates, tools, and frameworks to streamline their project processes and improve efficiency.

Volunteer program

The project management volunteer program connects skilled project management volunteers with NGOs that need assistance with their projects. This provides NGOs with expert advice and support without incurring high costs. These volunteers help NGOs with project planning, execution, monitoring, and evaluation, ensuring projects are completed successfully.
