In these current economic times, we recognize that some of our members will find themselves in changed financial circumstances. To that end, PMI would like to remind members about its hardship provision that is available to qualifying members in good standing.
 

PMI’s hardship provision is available to any member in good standing who becomes unemployed.

To qualify, a member must be in good standing and have paid dues for at least three consecutive years. Under this provision, a member is granted a waiver for one year of PMI membership dues and one year of dues for membership in any one PMI community in which the applicant was a member the previous year.

The hardship provision may be granted for a maximum of two years for each member. Details about this program can be found on the back of the renewal invoice.

To apply for a hardship provision, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and explain the nature of your hardship. Please include a copy of your renewal invoice (if available). Please note that any incorrect or untrue statements made by a member are in violation of the Project Management Institute Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and may result in the initiation of an ethics complaint.
