Ahorradoras

Ahorradoras (founded in 2011) is a community organization founded in Castellón, Spain, that offers financial education, contents on money management and savings.[1][2][3][4]

The community was founded in 2011 by María Pilar Amela (Mapi) with the aim of sharing her financial knowledge.[5][6][7][8][9]

Currently, the organization has 880,000 members[10][11][12] and operates as a savings and smart shopping platform, supported by specialists in areas related to personal finance, ranging from money management to one’s relationship with money. Within this ecosystem, the community gains access to discounts and advantageous conditions offered by major companies, enabling more conscious and efficient purchasing decisions.[13][14][15]

Its motto is “saving without giving up on anything”, or, in other words, buying smart.

Over time, the project underwent a natural evolution aligned with its founding purpose: encouraging more women to take ownership of their finances. As the community grew, its scope expanded toward a more comprehensive view of personal finance, incorporating investment education, long-term financial planning, and a more conscious relationship with money.

In 2024, in response to increasing demand for advanced financial education, Ahorradoras took a strategic step with the creation of Club de Inversoras. The platform is designed for women who want to make the transition from saving to investing, offering a space where members share knowledge, investment opportunities, and, above all, inspiration and empowerment related to wealth building and financial autonomy.

In 2026, this evolution was further consolidated with the creation of the Instituto de Riqueza, conceived as a higher-level educational institution focused on rigorous financial education, investment, personal development, and the behavioral aspects of money, with the aim of supporting sustainable wealth creation over time.

As part of the growth of the broader ecosystem, in 2025 the headquarters of the company group, Women Community Group, were relocated to Torre Realia,[16] located in Madrid’s financial district, marking a new stage in the organization’s institutional development and national presence.

In recent years, Ahorradoras has reported more than 880,000 members, positioning it among the largest Spanish-speaking communities dedicated to financial education. The platform is supported by a network of professionals and collaborators specializing in investment, entrepreneurship, taxation, real estate, and personal development, who contribute expertise across its content, programs, and initiatives.

It also has a presence in more than 30 Spanish-language media outlets through its founder, Mapi Amela.
