How are PMs and Nonprofits matched?  

• The PMDoS team will analyze the needs of each request and do their best to match that to a project manager with similar skill set and/or interests. It's important to know that project managers do not need to be subject matter experts in the specific request. They will bring their expertise in project planning and documentation.
