Fundación Cepaim

What Fundación Cepaim does

Fundación Cepaim, commercially operating as CONVIVE Fundación Cepaim, is a Spanish non-profit foundation established in 1994 (legal name: FUNDACIÓN CEPAIM, ACCIÓN INTEGRAL CON MIGRANTES; NIF G73600553; Registro de Fundaciones No. 281535) that delivers social inclusion services to migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, women in vulnerable situations, youth, and rural populations. It operates a network of 30+ territorial centers across 12+ Spanish autonomous communities — anchored by a social headquarters in Madrid (C/ Luisa Muñoz, 6) and a fiscal headquarters in Beniaján, Murcia — and runs an international-cooperation office in Dakar, Senegal. Its core delivery platform is the Sistema de Acogida y Protección Internacional (Reception and International Protection System), which in 2025 managed 3,090 accommodation places and accompanied 8,424 people in 9 autonomous communities.

The organization's service stack combines the accredited Placement Agency (Agencia de Colocación No. 9900000494, since 2015), the Aula Virtual training platform (Zoom-based), specialized programs (Adelante+ for vulnerable women, La Ruta for Youth Guarantee participants, +Raíces for rural employability, Adelante Canarias, Retorno Voluntario Productivo), and proprietary research/methodology assets (Índice EMCIE social-inclusion index and the Guía Metodológica sobre Retorno Voluntario Productivo). Supporting governance mechanisms include a Transparency Portal, Canal de Denuncias on integrityline.com, and a Buzón de Denuncias por Racismo. The technology layer is principally commodity SaaS (Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Zoom, YouTube, DoubleClick, SoundCloud, CookieFirst) with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

The revenue model is multi-source and non-commercial: Spanish ministry grants (Ministry of Inclusion, Ministry of Equality), regional and municipal administration contracts, EU co-financing (FSE+), AECID international-cooperation funds for codesarrollo with Senegal, individual donations (one-time, monthly, annual) at €10-€120 tiers with Spanish tax deductibility up to €250, and membership/socio fees. Customer-facing services to beneficiaries are free; the entity monetizes only via third-party-payer and donor funding.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Fundación "la Caixa" - Programa Incorpora: Major Spanish private foundation running the Incorpora program for labor insertion of vulnerable groups. Comparable on the employment-itinerary and intermediation mechanism but operates as a funder/coordinator of partner NGOs rather than a direct migrant-services provider.

Emerging players

• AIETI - Asociación de Investigación y Especialización sobre Temas Iberoamericanos: Smaller Spanish NGO focused on international cooperation, migration, and codesarrollo between Spain and Latin America. Comparable to Cepaim's cooperation and codesarrollo stream (Senegal) but with a Latin America focus and smaller operational footprint.

Direct peers

• Accem: Madrid-based nonprofit providing international protection reception, employment support, and social inclusion services for migrants and refugees across Spain. Directly overlaps with Cepaim's reception places, employment itineraries, and vulnerable-population programs.
• CEAR - Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado: Spanish nonprofit dedicated to refugee and asylum-seeker defense and integration. Operates a similar reception system, legal aid, and employment support model, competing for the same Spanish government and EU contracts that anchor Cepaim's funding.
• Rescate Internacional: Spanish NGO focused on refugee reception, family reunification, and integration support with a multi-regional territorial footprint. Competes with Cepaim for public administration grants and EU-funded programs targeting international protection beneficiaries.

Broad incumbents

• Cáritas Española: Confederation of social-action NGOs providing migrant support, housing programs, employment guidance, and refugee accompaniment. Overlaps with Cepaim's housing, employment and reception work but at a substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Cruz Roja Española: Spain's largest humanitarian organization with a much broader mandate (emergency response, health, social inclusion). Operates significant refugee reception and integration programs, making it the most formidable incumbent competitor for public tenders and a benchmark for organizational scale.
• Save the Children España: Spanish arm of a global child-rights organization running programs for unaccompanied migrant minors and migrant children. Overlaps with Cepaim's families-and-children segment but operates at much larger scale with a more child-focused mandate.

Regional players

• Andalucía Acoge: Andalusian federation of NGOs working on migrant reception, employment and intercultural coexistence. Shares Cepaim's program model and target population but is regionally concentrated in Andalusia, where Cepaim also operates (Huelva berry campaign, Almería, Sevilla).
• France Terre d'Asile: Leading French refugee and asylum-seeker NGO operating reception centers, legal aid, and integration programs under French state contracts. Closest functional equivalent to Cepaim outside Spain, useful as a cross-border comparator for organizational model and scale.
