Wildlife Noosa receives much-needed donation

Commonwealth Bank Noosa branch has donated $500 to Wildlife Noosa as part of a nationwide community donation program.

As part of this, the bank has again pledged to donate a further $350,000 Australia-wide to recognise those organisations that make a difference to the communities in which they operate. Each Commonwealth Bank branch and customer-facing team has been allocated $500 to donate to causes important to their local community.

Commonwealth Bank’s Noosa branch team nominated two local community organisations as potential recipients for the donation.

Between December and March, Noosa Branch customers, along with members of the local community, voted for which nominated community organisation they would like to support.

The runner-up community organisation then has the opportunity to participate in the next round of the donation program.

“This is one small way we can get behind our local organisations who continue to do good work within the community. Having our customers and the local community share in the voting process was a wonderful way to collectively recognise Wildlife Noosa,” Rheian Beresford, Commonwealth Bank Noosa Branch Manager said.

“Wildlife Noosa makes such a valuable contribution to our community and they are planning on using the donation to assist with maintenance costs for the vehicles used to rescue the animals. We’re thrilled to be able to help them continue their great work.”
