What Davids Educational Opportunity Fund Inc does
Mission
David's Educational Opportunity Fund provides financial, educational, and mental and physical health support to a select number of students from poor families who live in Quito, Ecuador, as they pursue higher education.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
From January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025, David's Educational Opportunity Fund offered grants directly to the students it supports. The grants included payments to 18 students studying in universities in Quito, Ecuador. They all come from families that lack the economic resources to support them in higher education. Our support is comprehensive, including mental health counseling, medical and necessary dental expenses, computers, and internet service. On average, we need between $5,000 and $6,000 to support one student annually. Since our official beginning in 2012, we have supported 49 students, and we now have 30 graduates. In that period, we have lost only five students. Our success rate is thus nearly 90%. We believe that our success is based on our commitment to comprehensive, consistent, and individualized work with our students. We have graduates in many fields, including Education, Law, Engineering, Computer Science, Fashion Design, International Business, Veterinary Science, Accounting, Finance, and Optometry. We currently have students in the areas of Architecture, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Mechanical Engineering, Psychology, Gastronomy, and Accounting. We work with…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $30k to $37k (+25%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of DAVIDS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FUND INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $3k → $14k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
DAVIDS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FUND INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
52% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund DAVIDS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FUND INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 77% · 2022 100% · 2023 71% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
52% of DAVIDS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FUND INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $15k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Wisconsin, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
