The TASC Foundation has been incorporated to administer community funds generated from TASC’s carbon mitigation projects. Its purpose is to ensure that available funds are distributed to initiatives which serve the needs of local communities in an accountable, transparent and effective way. The percentage of carbon revenue allocated for such use is determined on an ad hoc basis depending on the size of the relevant mitigation project and its funding structure.

TASC Foundation SA (NPC) is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of two senior members of TASC management with integral knowledge of TASC’s operations, together with an independent third Director with significant experience within non-profit organisations. The Foundation seeks to ensure that local communities benefit directly and practically from the distribution of funds and that the integrity requirements of the TASC group in terms of transparency, accountability and efficacy are always met. All proposals for potential community projects undergo an evaluation process and the progress and impact of initiatives are monitored on an ongoing basis. The NPC has a robust financial management system in place which tracks the inflow of community allocated funding from carbon mitigation projects and the outflow to beneficiary communities and TASC bears all the corporate costs of the Foundation so that 100% of allocated funds go to communities.
