Applications are now open for Island residents and community groups seeking funding to support projects that promote diversity and inclusion within the province. 

The Gender, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Community Enhancement Program (GEDI) provides annual grants for initiatives that encourage a greater sense of belonging and community engagement for marginalized groups in Prince Edward Island.

"Every community across the Island deserves the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a more inclusive society. This program strengthens PEI's diverse communities by supporting their voices, talents and leadership."

Minister of Workforce, Advanced Learning and Population Jenn Redmond

Over 30 community organizations received support from the GEDI program in 2025 to further promote diversity and inclusion across the Island. Since 2022, the province has invested over $2M through the program, funding 81 projects on PEI.

Funding streams for 2026, include: 

• Open proposals;
• Community events and celebrations; and
• Gender-based violence prevention.

Applications can be submitted by email to GEDI@gov.pe.ca until 11:59 p.m. on September 24, 2025.
