They 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.

Their grants fund projects which address the following goals:
- Introduce and promote the use of project management as a life skill for youth ages 14-24
- Advance the understanding of project management (especially in populations who may be underrepresented)
