Policy
Policy decisions made at every level of government shape the environment in which PEI's nonprofit and community organizations operate, from how they're regulated and funded to the rules that govern their staff, volunteers, and operations. CSNPEI monitors this broader policy landscape on behalf of the sector, paying attention to legislation, regulation, and government decisions that affect how community organizations function day to day. We bring sector knowledge and member perspectives into these conversations, helping ensure that policy made for or about the nonprofit sector reflects the realities of the organizations it affects.

The federal election took place on April 28, 2025
The election period is a key opportunity for nonprofits across Prince Edward Island to connect with Islanders, highlight local priorities, and work collectively toward positive community change.
Nonprofits are essential to a healthy and inclusive democracy. As trusted voices rooted in community, our sector bridges the gap between Islanders and government, amplifies lived experiences, offers valuable public policy insights, and holds decision-makers accountable. Nonprofits are uniquely positioned to reach those who are often underrepresented in political processes, making our role in civic engagement critical.
At CSNPEI, we believe in the power of our sector to shape a more equitable and vibrant PEI. We encourage all nonprofits to engage in election advocacy; share your impact, elevate the issues that matter to your communities, and make your voice heard before, during, and after the election.
Let’s work together to ensure our sector and our communities are seen, heard, and valued in this democratic moment.
