New Prosperity Programme Projects Announced

New Prosperity Programme Projects Announced

The Table Mountain Fund’s Prosperity Programme aims to unlock the potential of fynbos-based economies in order to provide economic and social benefits for our local communities. To meet the Fund’s Prosperity Programme objectives, in 2021 TMF put out a call for proposals, looking for social entrepreneurs who were ready to scale their business and provide greater environmental and social impact in a financially sustainable manner. The response to this call was inspiring, and after a long consultation period, we are proud to announce the following five projects as our new Prosperity Programme funding recipients:

1. !Khwa ttu – Food from our Ancestors. !Khwa ttu San Culture & Education Centre
2. Biodiversity Contractor Development Programme. Contour Enviro Group
3. Experiencing Fynbos on the Edge: A unique immersive experience. Endangered Wildlife Trust
4. Bag the Change. Sandveld Republic
5. U Can Grow Fynbos Initiative in the Southern Cape. U Can Grow Africa (PTY) LTD.
