Reply:
The Department of Social Development would not be in a position to have access of the list of the funded NPOs from Lotteries Commission.
However; in order to provide the requested information; the Department must be furnished with the information of grants paid out by Lotteries Commission.
Only on receipt of the list of beneficiaries from Lotteries Commission; the Department of Social Development will only be able to provide information about the NPOs that are registered in terms of NPO Act.
