How To Apply for Youth Grants

At PMIEF, we are committed to continually improving how we partner with the community to support your critical work. In 2022, we will be updating our grant process and will release the application process and timeline in January 2022.

A brief letter of inquiry is strongly recommended before submitting a full grant application. After submission of the letter of inquiry, a PMIEF staff member will contact you, and if your organization appears to be a good match, we will invite you to submit a full grant application. Please email [email protected] with the subject: "Grant Application-Letter of Inquiry."

Letter of Inquiry

Please Note: PMIEF strongly advises applicants to develop and to submit a concept note as a precursor to submitting the grant application. While PMIEF does not mandate a specific format for the concept note, it should include a brief overview of the:

• proposed initiative and how it aligns with our areas of focus;
• anticipated outcomes of the initiative and number of youth enabled to project management by country;
• how impact will be measured;
• potential challenges in executing the initiative;
• partners, if any, that will support the initiative; and
• organizational contact information, including the name(s), e-mail address(es) and telephone number(s) of the key person(s). 

In addition, the concept note should provide a summary of the applicant’s organizational mission as well as an estimate of the grant amount to be requested.
