We provide financial, educational, and emotional support for excellent high school and university students from poor families in Quito, Ecuador.

The work of the Fund is inspired by and dedicated to the life of David Byrd-Felker. David was a world traveller and a remarkable person and student. He disappeared in the mountains of southern Ecuador in July of 2002.

Durante su estadía en Ecuador, Maggie y Mike visitaron las oficinas de Estudia Inteligente en Quito, nuestros aliados estratégicos, quienes brindan a los estudiantes DEOF tutorías académicas de alto nivel.

Parte del éxito de nuestros estudiantes radica en el acompañamiento continuo, personalizado y profesional, que solo es posible gracias al apoyo de aliados comprometidos con la excelencia académica.

✨💛 Un domingo para recordar 💛✨
DEOF compartió una mañana de juegos, risas y un almuerzo lleno de cariño junto a los niños del Hogar San Vicente de Paúl.

12 de nuestros integrantes fueron parte de llevar esta alegría y compartir con los niños.

Gracias a la Fundación SINDEPRE, el clown hospitalario llenó el espacio de alegría y sonrisas que sanan.

Momentos así nos demuestran que el tiempo, el cariño y la presencia también transforman vidas.

¿Dónde nace la filantropía individual?
La filantropía individual nace cuando una persona decide que su éxito no tiene sentido si no se comparte. No siempre se trata de grandes fortunas, sino de grandes corazones que entienden que ayudar transforma tanto a quien recibe como a quien da.

DEOF compartió una mañana de ideas, experiencias y reflexiones, 8 integrantes dieron sus testimonios, y así se empieza a construir la confianza que puede formar la base para la filantropía individual.

Gracias a todos quienes formaron parte de esta mañana transformadora.

For Maggie, the Eucharistic World Congress in Quito was a unique opportunity today to share with around five thousand people her testimony and how DEOF began and how it has developed.

Many people in the audience were very interested in the foundation and have an interest in collaborating with us.
