In September 2020, we announced that the Cotton On Foundation had reached a proud milestone moment, raising $5M AUD funds though the sale of face masks. Today, and thanks to you - our incredible team and customers - this life-changing mask has now raised $10M AUD globally to support Cotton On Foundation projects that keep kids healthy and in school. 

We’re removing all single use plastic water bottles from Cotton On Group Australia stores and replacing them with the country’s first resealable aluminium bottled water. With 100 percent of proceeds contributing to quality education projects in Uganda, South Africa, Thailand and Australia - it’s infinitely recyclable and still life-changing.

We’re excited to announce that Cotton On Foundation is making some additions to their essentials items. The new range features, face masks, hand sanitiser, wipes, lip balm, tissues and hand lotion. Like always, these new handy items still change lives because 100 per cent of the proceeds contribute to global healthcare initiatives that help keep kids healthy and in school.

Cotton On Foundation exists to empower youth through quality education, which extends far beyond the child and into many different areas of the community. School facilities and their locations are considered; nutrition for children; school resources like textbooks and pencils; any limitations a school might have – the list goes on. But of course, no quality education program would be complete without an incredible team of teachers to deliver it.

The Cotton On Group has been recognised as Australia’s 22nd highest giving corporate for 2019, published by The Australian Financial Review (AFR) in BOSS magazine this month.

The holiday season is fast approaching. And at this time every year, the Cotton On Foundation release a range of beautiful cards with enamel pins, that when purchased, contribute towards providing a quality education for kids who need it most.

The Cotton On Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Australian retailer Cotton On, has delivered on its commitment to bring quality education to South Africa. Following a R100-million investment pledge by the Foundation a year ago, Ethekwini Primary School, situated in the heart of KwaMashu, Durban, will open its doors to grade seven learners.

The Group first stepped foot into the Africa retail market in 2011 opening a Cotton On store in the Clearwater Mall of Johannesburg. The region quickly became one of the fastest growing markets for the business’s store footprint reaching 170 stores across South Africa and Namibia by the end of 2018.

October marked a special milestone for the Cotton On Group with its philanthropic arm, the Cotton On Foundation, celebrating its 10th anniversary.

South African customers have once again demonstrated their allegiance to Cotton On, with Saturday’s opening of the world’s largest Cotton On store in Duban smashing Group sales records by 50 per cent for a first day of trade.
