The Department of Workforce, Advanced Learning and Population administers the GEDI & Community Enhancement Program on behalf of the Province of Prince Edward Island. The program provides public funding to individuals, non-profits, municipalities, charities, educational institutions, Indigenous governments and other eligible applicants working in PEI.
The funding is designed to support community-based projects that strengthen belonging, inclusion, and participation for marginalized populations. The published guidelines show that the department funds a range of project types rather than a single narrow initiative.
The guidelines describe eligibility rules, application deadlines, project timelines, budget requirements, monitoring expectations, and required final reporting. Funding may support up to 100% of eligible project costs, with administration costs limited within the program rules. The program also notes that partnerships are encouraged and that other funding sources may be used alongside the grant.
Overall, the program acts as a provincial grant mechanism for community organizations and individuals delivering inclusion-focused work across Prince Edward Island. Its scope spans social inclusion, equity-seeking groups, cultural participation, and violence prevention.
