The province is accepting submissions for its 2025 – 2026 Wellness Grant Program, which funds innovative, community-led projects that make healthy living more accessible for Islanders.
Eligible applicants, including organizations, Indigenous groups, schools, and community groups, can apply for the grants to support initiatives that promote health and wellness across Prince Edward Island.
“We’re thrilled to continue investing in local solutions that support healthier communities. These grants are about more than funding, they’re about empowering Islanders to lead change, remove barriers, and create environments where healthy choices are the easy choices.”
— Minister of Health and Wellness, Mark McLane
There are two funding streams available:
- Community Catalyst Grant (up to $7,500) – to support Island communities in mobilizing and building local capacity.
- School Health Grant (up to $3,000) – to support the Comprehensive School Health/Health Promoting Schools framework with initiatives aimed at improving health literacy skills and the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of Island students.
The program supports community-led wellness initiatives that positively influence healthier lifestyles and community well-being. The focus of the 2025-2026 grant is on the key pillars of chronic disease prevention and the social, economic, and structural conditions that impact health including:
- Healthy eating
- Physical activity
- Living tobacco-free
- Reducing alcohol consumption
- Social determinants of health
- Injury prevention
