Funds are invested back into the economy to encourage economic development and diversification. These funds are designed to provide a boost to the economy while laying the foundation for sustained growth and development.

REDI supports a number of programs including: Commercialization Support for Business, Rural Entrepreneur Assistance, and Hometown Manitoba. In addition, the Division funds programs that support rural and northern youth which are administered by the Department of Education, Citizenship and Youth.
