Fundación Oportunidad

What Fundación Oportunidad does

Fundación Oportunidad Uruguay is a Uruguayan non-profit organization, founded in 2013 and headquartered at Colonia 1451, Montevideo, that promotes adapted sports participation and social inclusion for people with disabilities. It operates three core adapted-sports programs — Powerchair Football (4v4 on a basketball court, for users of motorized wheelchairs due to conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal muscular atrophy), Fútbol 7 PC (7v7 on synthetic turf, for ambulatory athletes with cerebral palsy GMFCS I–III, stroke, or traumatic brain injury), and Quadrugby (4v4 for athletes with cervical spinal cord injury or severe motor impairment using manual wheelchairs) — alongside educational, sensitization, and community-inclusion initiatives. The foundation manages a network of seven Powerchair Football teams across Uruguay, including affiliations with major clubs (Club Nacional de Football, Club Atlético Peñarol, Huracán de Carrasco, Deportivo Paysandú, Interruedas de Fray Bentos, Charruas de Flores) and the Selección Uruguaya de Powerchair Football, which represents the country at the international Powerchair Football World Cup. Programs target children, adolescents, and adults with motor disabilities, with children’s offerings (ages 6–12) capped at 12 participants per shift.

The organization’s technology footprint is minimal: a standard informational website (fundacionoportunidad.org) and a donation-processing integration with the third-party platform donafacil.uy. There are no proprietary platforms, mobile applications, APIs, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or certifications disclosed, and the technology model is best characterized as a web presence plus an outsourced payments partner rather than a software-driven operation.

Funded primarily through monthly recurring donations (preset tiers of UYU $250, $300, $400, and $500 processed via debit/credit card through donafacil.uy) and one-time donations, the foundation operates with no disclosed VC/PE backing, no M&A activity, and a small team (11–50 employees) led by President Martín Corbo, Vice President David Doti, Secretary Leonardo Traverso, and Treasurer Mario Baccino. Its primary beneficiaries are people with motor and neurological disabilities in Uruguay, while its "customers" in a revenue sense are individual donors and institutional supporters.

Core offering

Fundación Oportunidad Uruguay is a non-profit organization that promotes sport for people with disabilities and social inclusion. It designs and delivers adaptive sports programs, national and international competitions in Powerchair Football, Fútbol 7 PC, and Quadrugby, training and sensitization activities, and recurring monthly donation services that fund equipment, transportation, and competition participation.

Product overview

Fundación Oportunidad is a non-profit organization operating as a unified sports and community programs platform rather than a traditional product company. The organization manages a portfolio of adaptive sports programs centered on three main disciplines: Powerchair Football (Fútbol en Silla de Ruedas a Motor), Fútbol 7 PC (for players with cerebral palsy), and Quadrugby. These sports programs include team management (such as the Uruguayan National Powerchair Football Selection, Huracán de Carrasco, Club Nacional de Football, Club Atlético Peñarol, Deportivo Paysandú, Interruedas de Fray Bentos, and Charruas de Flores for Powerchair Football), supplemented by a monthly donation service and educational/community inclusion programs. The organization functions as a single integrated offering focused on promoting sports participation and social inclusion for people with disabilities.
