### FAQ

#### Is a PMP certification worth it?

A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations.

#### What are the best certifications for project managers?

The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation.

#### How does PMI support career growth for professionals?

PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers.

#### What is the PMBOK® Guide?

The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery.

#### How is AI changing project management?

AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment.  PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes.

#### What are the most important skills for a project manager?

Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates.


#### How can I get involved with the PMI community?

Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections.

#### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM?

The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification.

#### How does PMI support social impact?
PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world.

Hurricane Beryl [shattered storm records](https://time.com/6994446/hurricane-beryl-shatters-storm-records/) as it swept through the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, having already killed several people and leaving tremendous destruction in its wake.

After the storm passed through Grenada, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell said Beryl “flattened” the archipelagic nation’s small island of Carriacou. In neighboring St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the hurricane destroyed almost all houses in the 9 sq. km. Union Island, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves said.

Beryl battered Jamaica next, causing widespread power outages and sending hundreds of people to relocation centers. After felling trees and knocking out power in parts of Mexico, the storm is headed next toward the U.S., with storm surges expected on the Texas coastline, according to the [U.S. National Hurricane Center](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics%5Fat2.shtml?start#contents).

**Read More:** [_Why Beryl’s ‘Unprecedented’ Timing Is a Sign of Climate Change’s Impact on Extreme Weather_](https://time.com/6994715/hurricane-beryl-extreme-weather-climate-change/)

As [images](https://time.com/6994896/hurricane-beryl-impact-damage-photos/) and videos of the havoc Beryl continues to wreak circulate around the world, some governments have begun asking for donations to support their relief efforts. St. Vincent and the Grenadines [set up a website](https://svghurricanerelief.gov.vc/hurricane/) with details on how to help, while Grenada’s National Disaster Management Agency has made a similar [call for donations](https://www.facebook.com/nadmagnd/posts/555493797060845). The City of Sunrise, Fla., is also [organizing material donations](https://www.sunrisefl.gov/Home/Components/News/News/1263/28) through its fire rescue stations.

Complementing government efforts to assist displaced and otherwise affected communities are a number of humanitarian aid organizations and charities. While material donations—such as water bottles, canned food, and clothing—are often well-intentioned, [USAID has said](https://usaidsaveslives.medium.com/why-cash-is-best-for-international-disaster-relief-4cea7a725b65) that when natural disasters strike, monetary donations are actually best for a number of reasons, including minimizing shipping and other logistical costs for organizations and maximizing flexibility in aid operations.


Below are some reputable groups mobilizing to help those impacted.

## **Airlink**

Airlink, a humanitarian aviation organization that collaborates with NGOs to deliver relief workers and supplies around the world, [is helping](https://airlinkflight.org/responses/hurricane-beryl/) groups including Mobile Medics International (see below) overcome logistical hurdles to provide support to the Caribbean and the region’s many small islands. By providing airlifts and coordination, Airlink says its strategic approach is critical “to get the right aid to the right place at the right time.”

You can support Airlink’s mission and response to multiple crises including Hurricane Beryl through its [website](https://airlinkflight.org/donate/), which also accepts donations of United frequent flyer miles.

## **Americares**

Health-focused relief and development organization Americares said it is responding to “urgent medical needs” in the wake of Beryl, and is [calling for donations](https://my.americares.org/give/599173), which can be specifically allocated to “Hurricane Beryl Relief.”


In a July 2 [press release](https://www.americares.org/news/americares-responds-to-hurricane-beryl-in-the-caribbean/), the group said it will send a response team to Jamaica this week to support the health needs of survivors throughout the region.

“A hurricane of this magnitude across multiple islands presents major logistical challenges,” Americares director of international emergency response Cora Nally said. “It’s going to take a lot of coordination between relief organizations and local partners and governments to ensure aid reaches those most in need. Based on our past experience with similar storms, we can anticipate survivors will need assistance with mental health support and replacing medications lost in the storm.”

## CARE

International anti-hunger and anti-poverty organization CARE said in a post on X that it is, in partnership with the [Caribbean Gender Alliance](https://www.caribbeangender.org/), “coordinating closely with locally-led, women-focused civil society organizations in Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago to assess the needs of the most vulnerable (especially women and girls) and provide emergency relief as needed.”


> [](https://twitter.com/CARE/status/1808133919960657934)

CARE [says](https://www.care.org/financial-reports/) it “takes great pride in our financial efficiency and accountability” and that over 90% of its expenses go to program services.

A spokesperson told TIME that the group, through its [Hurricane Beryl Emergency Fund](https://my.care.org/site/Donation2?df%5Fid=43110&mfc%5Fpref=T&43110.donation=form1&s%5Fsrc=1725720HB0M0&s%5Fsubsrc=FY25DFBERYLRESMO), will provide Beryl survivors with cash assistance to help families meet essential needs and livelihood support to help restore sources of income and ensure long-term recovery for families and individuals.

## **Catholic Relief Services**

The international humanitarian aid agency of the U.S. Catholic Church has also set up a [donation drive](https://support.crs.org/donate/hurricanes). “Our Church partners are often the first responders—the first places people go for help. CRS will support their efforts in assisting and caring for their communities as we help meet the range of needs in this moving crisis.”


Catholic Relief Services tells TIME that it has “staff on the ground evaluating the damage” and has already “been able to ship out pre-positioned emergency supplies like tarps and hygiene kits.”

## Convoy of Hope

Faith-based American nonprofit Convoy of Hope [says](https://convoyofhope.org/disaster-services/hurricane-beryl-24/) it is “working in the region to assess needs and provide much-needed relief supplies.” [Disaster services](https://convoyofhope.org/initiatives/disaster-services/) are among the key focuses of the group, which was founded in 1994 and partners with local churches, businesses, civic organizations, and government agencies, to distribute essential emergency supplies “such as food, clean water, hygiene items, and more” and to provide “long-term assistance, when possible, to help people rebuild and recover.”

Convoy of Hope accepts donations in a [variety of forms](https://convoyofhope.org/get-involved/give/) through its website.

## Crisis Response International

CRI, a Christian nonprofit, trains and deploys volunteer disaster responders, and it has [called on](https://criout.com/deployments/hurricaneberylresponse/) those who have completed the training to volunteer for deployment to Carriacou, where the group says it is mobilizing to assist with debris removal and distribution of emergency supplies as well as to provide chaplains who can offer emotional and spiritual care. In addition to trained volunteers, the group is also seeking donations and prayers.


## Direct Relief

Direct Relief, a U.S.-based humanitarian aid nonprofit that’s active in all 50 U.S. states and more than 80 countries, [said](https://www.directrelief.org/2024/07/response-underway-as-hurricane-beryl-cuts-a-devastating-path/) it is already engaged in relief efforts on the ground in the Caribbean. It’s working with local officials in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada as well as partner organizations like [Medical Professionals on a Mission](https://mpoam.org/donate/), to assess emergency response needs and provide medications, supplies, and temporary shelters.

Direct Relief [accepts donations online](https://www.directrelief.org/donate) with an option to select “Hurricane Beryl Response” as the specified target of your support.

## Empact

[Empact International, also known as Empact Northwest](https://www.empact.ngo/), is a nongovernmental nonprofit founded in 2010 and based in Washington state that provides advanced rescue training, emergency systems development, and disaster response services worldwide “using a team of dedicated staff and volunteers made up of fire service, healthcare, dispatch, and emergency management professionals.”


In a [post about Hurricane Beryl on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/empact-northwest%5Fhurricaneberyl-disasterrelief-empactnorthwest-activity-7214058414258151424-xBns/) on Tuesday, the organization said: “Empact’s disaster response teams are on high alert, ready to deploy at a moment's notice. Our specialized rescue professionals and canine units stand prepared to: Conduct search and rescue operations; Provide emergency medical care; Assist with evacuations; Support local emergency responders.”

The post also solicited [donations](https://secure.givelively.org/donate/empact-northwest), which it says, “fuels our ability to respond swiftly and save lives: $50 provides emergency supplies for a family; $100 fuels our rescue vehicles; $250 equips a team member with essential gear; $500 supports our canine search teams.”

## Fauna & Flora

International conservation group [Fauna & Flora](https://www.fauna-flora.org/appeals/hurricane-beryl-appeal/) says that its partner organization in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, [Union Island Environmental Alliance](https://unionislandenvironmentalalliance.org/), “is in serious need of help.”

“Union Island is a shining beacon of our conservation efforts in the Caribbean—from preserving species to adapting to climate change—but the 150mph winds have demolished our ability to protect nature there,” the group said in its [call for donations](https://www.fauna-flora.org/appeals/hurricane-beryl-appeal/).


“Nature is resilient and so are the people of Union Island—but they urgently need your help,” it added. “Please donate today, and help our partners rebuild their lives and livelihoods and rescue our conservation programme.”

## Global Empowerment Mission

From its headquarters in Doral, Fla., disaster relief mission group Global Empowerment Mission says it is “already packing supplies, organizing logistics, and getting team members on the ground.” The group is [seeking drop-offs of items](https://www.globalempowermentmission.org/mission/hurricane-beryl/) like tarps, canned foods, and hygiene kits, as well as volunteers to help pack these goods, and it is accepting [monetary donations online](https://www.globalempowermentmission.org/donate/mission/donate-to-hurricane-beryl-fund/) for its Hurricane Beryl fund.

## Mobile Medics International

According to [local news in Alaska](https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2024/07/03/anchorages-mobile-medics-international-respond-aftermath-hurricane-beryl/), the Anchorage-based nonprofit Mobile Medics International will be sending its founder and executive director Teresa Gray as well as eight team members to Jamaica on Thursday, after Beryl passes through the nation.


Gray said her team of medical professionals will be equipped with backpacks so that they can treat people “where they are” with equivalent care to an ambulance and help “keep them out of the field hospital if possible.” 

Gray said people who want to help should [donate](https://www.mobilemedicsinternational.org/donate) to mobile medic operations, like MMI: “This hurricane has created a tremendous amount of destruction. I encourage people to find an organization that is on the ground, that speaks to them.”

## Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies posted an infographic on social media for those in the path of Beryl with guidance on what to do before and during a hurricane. It also said it was monitoring the situation alongside local Red Crosses in the region.

More information about the group’s work on the ground and how to donate can be found [here](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=356355897253360).

Meanwhile, Canada’s Red Cross is [accepting monetary donations](https://give.redcross.ca/page/24HBA) for victims of Hurricane Beryl that it says will be used for providing immediate relief and supporting recovery efforts, as well as resilience and preparedness activities for future events.

The American Red Cross [said](https://www.redcross.org/about-us/news-and-events/news/2024/red-cross-responds-to-hurricane-beryl.html) on Wednesday that it is ready to respond to Beryl with disaster teams and relief supplies deploying over the Fourth of July holiday weekend to potential impact areas, which [may include parts of the U.S.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/07/03/hurricane-beryl-track-united-states-texas/) Donations, including specifically for “Disaster Relief,” to the American Red Cross can be made [here](https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation.html/).

The North Carolina-based Christian nonprofit Samaritan’s Purse [said](https://www.samaritanspurse.org/media/pr-hurricane-beryl-7-2-24/) on Tuesday that it flew a 13-person disaster response team and more than 24 tons of relief items to Grenada for Hurricane Beryl victims. “We started building out pallets of cargo before the hurricane even made landfall,” the group’s president Franklin Graham said. Among the items it sent were tarps, solar lights, a desalination water unit, and a mobile medical unit.

## **Sandals Foundation**

The Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Jamaican hotel operator Sandals Resorts International, set up a “Disaster Relief” initiative after Hurricane Beryl hit Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and most recently Jamaica. “When one island hurts, we come together to lend a hand,” the organization [posted on X](https://x.com/sandalsfdn/status/1808189345653801452).

Donations—100% of which go to the foundation’s programs and initiatives, as administrative costs are covered by Sandals Resorts International—can be made [online](https://sandalsfoundation.org/donation).

## Save the Children

“As the climate crisis intensifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and coastal areas become more populated,” international child welfare advocacy group Save the Children said in a [blog post about Hurricane Beryl](https://www.savethechildren.org/us/what-we-do/disaster-relief-in-america/hurricane-relief), “millions of children in storm-prone areas face increased risks like floods, landslides, damage to homes and schools, heightened exposure to disease, and even death.”


The group shared safety tips to help protect children and called for donations to its [Children’s Emergency Fund](https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?idb=517623255&df%5Fid=1631&mfc%5Fpref=T&1631.donation=form1&1631%5Fdonation=form1).

## United Nations

The U.N. has several bodies that specialize in humanitarian operations.

Its World Food Programme has staff on the ground in Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. “WFP is working to support regional and national disaster management agencies to ensure that the people impacted by this storm are able to meet their essential needs and get back on their feet as quickly as possible,” Brian Bogart, WFP Caribbean multi-country office director designate, said in a [July 1 press release](https://www.wfp.org/news/wfp-ready-support-first-hurricane-year-makes-landfall-caribbean).

Those in the U.S. can make a 100% tax-deductible donation to WFP USA [here](https://secure.wfpusa.org/donate/HurricaneBeryl-EMR%5FRES%5FWEB). “$75 dollars can provide a family with an emergency box containing enough food for an entire month,” the group says.

The U.N. also has a [Crisis Relief](https://crisisrelief.un.org/about) arm that solicits donations to and manages an [Emergency Fund](https://crisisrelief.un.org/donate), which it then disburses to various NGOs that deliver “life-saving aid at the front lines of the world’s most severe crises.” While U.N. Crisis Relief does not have a specific appeal for victims of Hurricane Beryl, it does have a [Climate Action Account](https://crisisrelief.un.org/climate-action), which it describes as “our most effective tool to support timely and life-saving humanitarian action in response to climate-related disasters.” 


## World Central Kitchen

Celebrity chef José Andrés’ nonprofit global food relief organization World Central Kitchen [said](https://wck.org/news/first-alert-beryl) its team is mobilizing to Antigua, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines to work with partners and provide meals to survivors of Hurricane Beryl.
