Financial Support for Non-Government Organizations

PEI charities and non-profit organizations who provide services to clients in the social sector may be eligible for funding to help with the rising costs of fuel and food. Financial Support for Non-Government Organizations will provide eligible organizations a one-time grant to help cover some of the additional, un-budgeted operational expenses such as utilities, fuel and food.

What level of grant is available?

A maximum grant of $10,000 is available. Lesser amounts may be granted based on the size of the organization or the needs described in the application.

Is my organization eligible for this grant?

Any charity or non-profit organization registered to operate in PEI who provides services to clients in the social sector and is impacted by recent rising costs is eligible to apply for assistance.

What can my organization receive assistance for?

There are two streams of assistance available and organizations can apply for funding from either one or both streams to a maximum of $5,000 per stream ($10,000 maximum grant).

Stream 1 - Increased Operating Costs

Your organization can apply for up to $5,000 of assistance for increased operational costs such as un-budgeted increases to utilities, fuel or food expenses incurred by your organization.

Stream 2 - Increased Costs of Assistance Provided to Clients

You can also apply for up to $5,000 of assistance for increased costs of payments your organization provides directly to clients to pay for their costs for utilities, fuel or food.

Consideration will also be made for requests for funding for new programs or services your organization could provide if the application is successful. Details on what new programs or services your organization could provide and the funding required must be provided in the application.

What do I need to complete the online form?

You will be asked to provide:

• Organization name and contact details
• Business or charity registration number
• How much of your organization’s budget went to the payment of utilities, fuel and food, either as direct costs of the organization or as funding provided to clients for to pay for these necessities.

• Upload documents including:
