As such, PMI will support a chapter’s commitment to members by reimbursing each chapter for event support up to $5,000 USD. This will give chapters access to additional event support without being constrained by their local budget.
*Starting 2023, the pre-existing Virtual Tool Reimbursement Program has been merged with the Global Chapter Events Assistance Funding Program.

Chapters will be reimbursed up to $5,000 USD for event support. Any costs incurred by chapters beyond the $5,000 limit must be covered by the chapter’s own operating budget.
