Community Donations

Council recognises the value of charitable organisations within our community that support the provision of services, programs and initiatives that make Cottesloe vibrant and iconic.

The annual Community Donations program aims to assist these community organisations to build their capacity, further provide participation opportunities and support the needs of the community.

Through this program the Town of Cottesloe has donated funds to assist many worthwhile projects including skin cancer awareness, coastal native planting, nature play equipment, shade sails and social tennis sessions.

Past recipients include:
