Island Community Food Security Program est un programme de type subvention administré par le gouvernement de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, offert aux entreprises de la région suivante : Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Funds for food literacy and security projects in Prince Edward Island.

The Island Community Food Security Program is designed to support the expansion of local markets while simultaneously supporting goals related to community food security, particularly increasing access to affordable local food and improving health and food safety. It is focused on strengthening local food systems through community-led education and outreach activities like linking farmers to consumers, promoting good nutrition and healthy food choices, building community self-reliance and collaboration, enhancing the pride and joy of growing, preparing, and eating food, building the capacity for people to create change through education and empowerment, and creating multi-sector partnerships and networks that work toward community food security.

Une subvention est non remboursable : une fois approuvée, elle n'a pas à être remboursée, mais la plupart des bailleurs exigent des rapports d'étape ou finaux.

Les programmes de la province (Île-du-Prince-Édouard) exigent généralement que le demandeur y soit enregistré et exploité; ils se cumulent souvent avec des programmes fédéraux comme la RS&DE et le PARI CNRC.
