Grantmaking to Nonprofits and NGOs
PMIEF awards a limited number of grants each year to nonprofit organizations, supporting the incorporation of project management skills into their programs as well as internal capacity-building. We award grants to nonprofit organizations to invest in the development of young people by advancing project management knowledge. Multi-year funding may support activities that include integrating project management into existing youth skills-building curricula and expanding curriculum and course offerings to promote project management as a critical skill. Other activities may include evaluating the impact of project management on youth and establishing innovative models and delivery mechanisms to enable youth success through project management.
