This depends on the policies of your organization. If it is allowed, then you should approach your project's leadership and explain your intention to divert a portion of the project budget for personal use. If this is not covered by policies, you should contact your supervisor or HR to discuss potential options, such as a loan from the organization, paying out of pocket and being reimbursed or taking a salary advance.

As a project manager, you must use your best discretion when using budget for personal use. Start by getting approval from the relevant stakeholders such as your higher management or organization's board of directors, so that your intentions are clear and approved before any changes are made. Additionally, create detailed records of how exactly you are using the fund and make sure to update them with any changes made to the budget or allocations in case there is an audit performed in the future. Moreover, establish clear measurements and outcomes associated with your uses of project budgets, so that it will not be difficult to determine when enough is enough.
