The Global Pathways Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Baltimore, Maryland. The organization maintains a common non-profit organizational structure, governed by a Board of Directors in accordance with by-laws formally adopted by the Board. It is an independent organization, unaffiliated with any other organization and currently 100% volunteer based. The organization addresses its mission and aims by structuring efforts into projects led by Project Managers. This project-oriented approach allows volunteers to get directly involved in specific areas of interest and work on detailed projects that are results oriented, and provides opportunities for individuals to develop project management and organizational skills. Funding for the organization is primarily obtained through donations from the public, along with proceeds generated from the organization's events. Additional funding comes from grants and sponsorship. As an all-volunteer organization, 100 percent of funds raised are applied to the organization's activities. While the organization is based in Baltimore, MD, and its activities are centered there, the Global Pathways Project is committed to growing projects in local communities around the United States. The organization sees the Baltimore Metropolitan region as its research and development lab for other cities.
