‘Frankston Charitable Fund’s Community Connection Grant

Applications for Stage 1 open 24 February 2025 until 14 March 2025 

Frankston Charitable Fund is a charitable fund account of the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation.

It was established in 2009 and aims to raise much-needed funds to assist charitable organisations that operate in the Frankston community by encouraging tax-deductible donations that build up the Fund corpus in perpetuity. Each year the Fund is allocated a grants budget which is then made available to eligible charities in the form of grants.

The Fund is separate to Council’s Community Grants Program and is managed by an independent Committee of Management who Council supports with administration of grants.

Community Connections Grant

Frankston Charitable Fund’s Community Connection Grants provides one-off funding of $5,000 to $10,000 to support charitable organisations in delivering programs and projects that meet local community needs, improve community connection and build community capacity
