Let’s make a difference—together

PMWB empowers nonprofit organizations with Project Professionals who bring clarity, coordination, and capacity where it's needed most. Through partnerships with our local chapters and skill-based volunteers, your organization can grow from conception to execution.

PMWB partners with organizations that meet the following criteria:

  • Nonprofit or non-government organization
  • Support PMI’s for-purpose mission and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Our volunteers apply their expertise and knowledge to nonprofits at the organizational level through three types of projects:

  • Short-term project support – planning and delivering defined initiatives such as events, campaigns, or logistics
  • Capacity building – training teams, creating reusable tools, and establishing sustainable project management practices
  • Strategy consultancy – developing frameworks, implementing systems, and embedding project management methodologies

Download our free nonprofit guide

We publish a wealth of knowledge through standards, guides (like the PMBOK Guide®), white papers, case studies, and articles that equip nonprofits and NGOs to improve their project management practices.
