The operation of the Trust is controlled by two committees:
the Technical Committee which controls the operations, and the
Advisory Council which has input regarding the charitable gifts
made from the Trust. Eligible projects are divided into two
categories: Municipal, which pertain to the City of Ensenada
(e.g. public security, academic, environmental), and Community,
which are projects proposed by non-profit organizations with no
ties to the City of Ensenada (e.g. hospitals, research, academic,
promoting economic development) .
Any entity requesting money from the trust must prepare a
letter to the Technical Committee. The letter includes a
description of the project, a proposed budget, justification, a
list of organizations, shareholders, partners and members
involved, and at least two bids if the proposal is for a project.
Beneficiaries of the Trust must have resided in Ensenada for a.
minimum of five years, have no connection to any past or present
Ensenada official, and cannot be related to members of the
Technical Committee. Additionally, The Trust Rules of Operation
specifically state that the donation must conform to FCPA
regulations. Donations cannot be used for payroll, can never be
in the form of cash, and the Trust cannot be the employer of
anyone associated with the project. The beneficiary cannot be a
person, place of religious worship, agency or institution not
legally constituted, or a political party or association.
