| Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 | ***Grant monies paid to affiliated organization Fundación Hagamos Más Por Santa Rosalía (FHMSR) = $51,697. Address: Calle 5, e/ Av. Constitución and Álvaro Obregón, Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, 23920, Mexico. EcoWB partners with FHMSR, a small Mexican non-profit organization based in Santa Rosalía, BCS, Mexico, on the Mulegé Sustainable Fisheries Project (MSFP), which EcoWB initiated in 2013. EcoWB receives grant funding for the MSFP and donates a considerable amount of time and effort to the project. FHMSR promotes sustainable development in the Municipality of Mulegé through a variety of social, environmental, and economic development programs designed to improve the welfare of local residents. In 2018, EcoWB invited FHMSR to help implement the MSFP, which is based on sustainable fisheries standards and improvement strategies developed by the Marine Stewardship Council. In 2022, EcoWB granted FHMSR a total of $51,697 so its staff could assist with fieldwork, facilitate the involvement of local fishermen and other stakeholders, and ensure compliance with the social responsibility aspects of the project. EcoWB and FHMSR work side by side on the MSFP, dividing responsibilities and tasks according to their respective capabilities to ensure success of the project. EcoWB maintains full control over the project, as detailed in monthly progress reports (required for monthly grant disbursements), grant project completion reports, and social media. ****Grant monies paid to Christine Mwende, Director of Environment for the Nairobi Metropolitan Services agency in Nairobi, Kenya = $672. Address: PO Box 30430-00100 GPO, Nairobi, Kenya. The NMS is an executive agency of the Kenya National government and is responsible for environment, water, and sanitation services for the City of Nairobi. EcoWB provided funds raised from small, individual donations to be used for the clean-up of Nairobi neighborhoods near the Nairobi Reservoir. The funds were used by Ms. Mwende to purchase wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, and other tools and safety materials in order to equip local residents to be able to engage in waste removal and disposal in their neighborhoods. |
