Frankston City Council, on behalf of the Frankston community, is a major supporter of sporting and community organisations within the City. The Community Grants Program represents a significant contribution by the community to many not-for-profit organisations for programs, projects and events. The contribution by the community is funded from General Rate revenue and reflects the goodwill of the Frankston community in supporting the activities of individual clubs and organisations that benefit the general public. Funds are distributed to assist Frankston City based groups in the operation of programs, specific projects, volunteer training, and development of new services and purchase of new equipment.

In the 2009-2010 program, 81 groups received more than $172,800 to assist their work in the community.
