What Fundación Valórate does

Fundación Valórate is a Panamanian non-profit foundation founded in 2005 by Ana María de Varela R. to support children with TDA/H (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) aged 6 to 14 through a three-pillar model: direct psychological attention to children, interdisciplinary support to parents and caregivers, and MEDUCA-certified training for teachers. It operates two physical service centers (Ciudad del Saber / Clayton in Panamá City and a second site in Provincia de Colón within Instituto Santa María Belén) and serves the broader market through an annual congress, the Valórate Summit (now in its 7th edition), bi-monthly parent workshops, and an expanding network of sensitization events in provinces such as Chitré and Penonomé.

The foundation's product and program portfolio includes the Programa de Atención Psicológica (individual therapy, monthly workshops, psychopedagogical support running March through November), the Programa de Becas / Impacta Panamá (five-tier corporate sponsorship ranging from USD 2,650 for one child to USD 63,600 for 24), the Programa de Capacitación al Docente (Intro al TDA/H at USD 500 and Maestros Atentos at USD 2,000), and a self-administered adult ADHD screening quiz built on DSM-V criteria. Educational materials (Cuadernillos Didácticos USD 25, Memory Game USD 12, Puzzle USD 20) and partnership merchandise (Tío Yeyo cookies) are sold through a WooCommerce online store, with donations processed via Yappy (Banco General).

The organization is funded through a diversified mix of corporate Becas sponsorships, individual donations at USD 10/20/50/100, event tickets at USD 95, teacher-training fees, product sales, and benefit events such as the annual golf tournament. It employs approximately 27 people (executive director, accountants, psychologists, psychopedagogues, social workers, administrative and project staff, plus a large volunteer base) under Executive Director Yiniva Sánchez H. and Board President Ana María de Varela R. In 2025 the foundation commemorated its 20th anniversary while reporting 240 children attended, 843 teachers trained, 1,377 parents reached, and 520 congress participants.

Company assessment

Direct peers

FEAADAH (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Ayuda al Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad): Spanish federation of ADHD associations delivering training, advocacy, and family support. Directly comparable to Valórate as a Spanish-language ADHD nonprofit running parallel programs of training, family services, and public awareness.
CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD): U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to education, advocacy, and support for individuals with ADHD across the lifespan. CHADD is the most globally recognized ADHD-focused nonprofit peer, mirroring Valórate's children-plus-adult, education-plus-support mission.
Aprendamos - Asociación de Padres y Profesionales para el Bienestar de Niños con Déficit de Atención: Puerto Rico-based ADHD-focused nonprofit providing training, clinical referrals, and parent/teacher resources. Highly comparable given the shared Spanish-language, Caribbean-LatAm context and combined parent-education plus teacher-training model.

Regional players

Fundación ADHD España (Asociación ADAH): Spain-based ADHD nonprofit that delivers awareness, family support, and clinical referrals. Comparable as a regional peer serving a Spanish-speaking ADHD community outside Valórate's primary Panama geography.

Broad incumbents

Plan International: Global child-rights nonprofit with active Panama and Central America programs. Comparable as a major international child-welfare nonprofit that Valórate could partner with to expand ADHD-specific programming regionally.

Fundación ANAR: Spanish/LatAm nonprofit providing child and adolescent support lines, family guidance, and counseling. Comparable as a larger youth-focused nonprofit operating complementary child mental-health and family-support programs.

Emerging players

Fundación Hablar: Argentine nonprofit focused on children's mental health and emotional well-being. Comparable as a Spanish-language, LatAm peer with a similar combined-clinical-and-education model for children and families.
