The Cape Town Tourism’s Board Development Fund, now in its third year, assists historically disadvantaged individuals (HDIs) with support to encourage skills transfers, partnership, enterprise and supplier development and marketing opportunities to grow their existing SMME business.

Cape Town Tourism is calling for proposals for the Board Development Fund, whereby two HDI SMMEs will each receive R50 000 (€2 887) in support of their business’s growth as well as non-financial support by Cape Town Tourism via coaching, mentoring and complimentary membership. 

The programme will run till September 30. The closing date for applications has been extended to January 13, 2016.  For more information, go to the Cape Town Tourism website.
