POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL INC

Population and Development International (PDI) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (tax-exempt since 1983) that raises funds and provides grant support to locally led development and community-health initiatives, with a long-standing focus on Southeast Asia. PDI operates primarily as a U.S.-based funder and partner organization that channels contributions to school-based integrated rural development projects, community health and education programs (including support for the Mechai Bamboo School model) and related conservation and livelihood activities. The organization is governed by an international board that has included recognized development leaders and activists. PDI has remained active in recent years: its Form 990 filings show materially increased contributions in 2023 (roughly $623k) and continued grantmaking and program support into 2024 (roughly $203k in revenue), and it reports supporting a network of school-based projects (about 20 schools in current reporting). The organization typically operates with minimal or no full-time U.S. staff and routes funds to partner implementers overseas.
