The Table Mountain Fund is a capital conservation trust fund dedicated to fynbos conservation and the protection of the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa’s Western Cape. We initiate, develop and fund conservation projects that expand protected areas, restore ecosystems, and strengthen the organisations working on the ground.
Launched by Sir Edmund Hillary and established with start-up capital raised by WWF South Africa, the Trust was registered in 1998 following significant local support, and later expanded with investment from the World Bank. Today, TMF is a specialist conservation funder and strategic partner for biodiversity conservation across the Cape Floristic Region.
To date, The Table Mountain Fund has invested R116 million in over 380 projects, from securing conservation land and supporting biodiversity stewardship, to applied research and civil-society initiatives in high-value conservation areas. We work with local and international partners, donors, and conservation NGOs who share our commitment to lasting impact.
