It’s one thing to talk about helping — it’s another to show how help transforms lives. The Eagle’s Wings Foundation consistently demonstrates its impact through its funding, in-kind donations, and long-term programs that reach the heart of vulnerable communities in Mexico.
Where the Need Is Greatest
Many of the people who benefit from EWF’s work reside just minutes away from luxury resorts. In regions like Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Los Cabos, Cancun, and Loreto, families face deep social challenges: poverty, limited access to education, and a real lack of resources for children, elderly people, and special-needs individuals.
How EWF Makes Change Happen
- Annual Grants Program
EWF supports a wide spectrum of charitable organizations — from schools and libraries to rehabilitation centers, orphanages, and senior homes. For many children, the foundation’s scholarship grants are key. In Mexico, once students finish junior high, many no longer receive support — EWF’s scholarships help them stay in school and break the cycle of poverty. - In-Kind Donations
Beyond cash grants, EWF distributes vital goods. Over the years, they’ve donated computers, medical equipment, shoes, and even big-ticket items like ambulances and school buses. During a recent Christmas drive, they organized the distribution of fried chickens and toys for underprivileged neighborhoods in Puerto Vallarta. - Sustainable Support
Their “Bring-a-Thing” program encourages vacationers to bring things they no longer need that can help local communities — art supplies for schools, hygiene products, toys, and more. They also encourage guests to leave leftover pesos in donation boxes — these small contributions add up and provide ongoing support.
Real-World Impact
- In a recent grants ceremony, EWF distributed US$ 146,000 to 36 civil associations in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay.
- In 2022, they donated over 4 million pesos to 32 civic associations in Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas.
- EWF has directly supported 34 nonprofits in Puerto Vallarta recently, reinforcing its commitment to local change. banderasnews.com
Why This Impact Matters
- Education: Supporting scholarships and educational programs helps children continue school, especially after state support ends — a critical lever for long-term social mobility.
- Healthcare: By donating medical gear and funding rehab centers, EWF ensures that people with health challenges have access to vital services.
- Vulnerability: Older adults, people with disabilities, and marginalized children receive real, concrete assistance — not just temporary charity.
- Sustainability: Through both cash and in-kind strategies, the foundation builds trust with local NGOs and ensures that donations are both relevant and long-lasting.
