The Table Mountain Fund Manual in terms of PAIA and POPIA

The Table Mountain Fund Manual, published by WWF South Africa in September 2025, provides guidance on requesting access to records and the processing of personal information in compliance with the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

• The Table Mountain Fund is a Trust (registration number T890/1998) established in 1998 through donations from the World Bank and WWF-SA. It is managed by WWF South Africa, which maintains all relevant records, as the Trust has no employees of its own.
• The Trust's objectives involve developing projects aligned with the Cape Action for People and the Environment (C.A.P.E.) focusing on high biodiversity areas. Funding from the Global Environment Facility supports projects across the Cape Floral Kingdom, while locally raised investment income supports projects based in the Cape Peninsula.
• Annual Financial Statements are the only category of records available from the Trust without a formal request under the Act.
• To request access to records, requesters must use a prescribed form and submit it to the Information Officer at WWF-SA. Non-personal requesters must pay a request fee of R140.00, with additional access fees for reproduction and search/preparation as detailed in the manual's fee structure.
• The Trust processes personal information for directors, trustees, service providers, consultants, contractors, and partners. This data may be supplied to agents, financial institutions, suppliers, service providers, and government or regulatory bodies.
• Personal information may be transferred to third parties in foreign countries under specific conditions, such as when the recipient is subject to laws providing adequate protection, the data subject consents, or the transfer is necessary for a contract.
