The County of Prince Edward is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2026 Municipal Community Grants Program, supporting local organizations that strengthen community well-being, enhance quality of life, and build capacity across the community.
“Prince Edward County is blessed to have so many community-minded organizations and the hundreds of staff and volunteers who work incredibly hard to enrich our community through a variety of activities and initiatives,” Mayor Steve Ferguson says. “Investing in these organizations through the Municipal Community Grants Program has an impact on the lives of many throughout Prince Edward County.”
The Municipal Community Grants Program aims to improve the well-being and quality of life of the community and its residents through financial assistance to non-profit, community-based organizations. This year, a total of 27 local organizations will receive support through a combination of cash and in-kind grants. The funding will bolster a diverse range of initiatives focused on culture, heritage, recreation, environment, and health and human services.
The grants program is funded by the municipality and administered by The County Foundation. Priority is given to projects that align with the strategies of the municipality and The County Foundation such as Council’s strategic plan and the 10-year community plan, Vital Signs, Community Safety and Well-being Plan, and Thrive PEC Community Economies Pilot Project.
“These grants reflect the incredible dedication of local organizations working to meet community needs,” says Dominique Jones, Executive Director of The County Foundation. “They are a meaningful investment in the wellbeing of our community — supporting programs that foster connection, inclusion, and quality of life for residents. By funding both new and ongoing initiatives, the municipality is making a smart, lasting investment in a more vibrant, resilient Prince Edward County.”
Arts-mandated organizations are now funded through the PEC Arts Fund in partnership with The County Foundation. Learn more about the 2026 PEC Arts Fund recipients. To learn about funding for arts organizations, visit The County Foundation website.
