Frankston City Council in Australia is offering a $1,000 Sustainability grant to eligible community groups. The grant will support local projects that help protect the environment. It will also support climate action and help people learn about better ways to care for nature.

The grant is open to eligible not for profit groups and community organizations. Groups that are not officially registered can also apply with help from an approved partner group. Projects must take place in Frankston City or mainly help people who live there.

The money can support many types of projects. These include tree planting, bush care, recycling, composting, water saving and energy saving activities.
