Fundación AMÁS

What Fundación AMÁS does

Fundación AMÁS is a private non-profit foundation headquartered in Móstoles (Madrid), Spain, dedicated to supporting the full life cycle of people with intellectual disabilities. Founded in 2010 through the merger of AFANDEM and Fundación García Gil, with roots extending to 1977, the organization operates through a consortium of five entities (Fundación AMÁS Social, Fundación AMÁS Empleo, Asociación Adfypse, Asociación Afandem, Asociación Aspandi) plus the 2026 spin-off Fundación AMÁS Contigo. It delivers a comprehensive service portfolio including early intervention (Atención Temprana), childhood/adolescent support (STEIA), occupational centers, vocational training (Escuela Más y Menos), special employment centers (CEE Dymai and others employing ~300 people with 79% disability rate), residential and community housing, day centers, rehabilitation, leisure programs, family support, and specialized sub-brands covering cognitive accessibility (AMÁS Fácil), performing arts (AMÁS Escena), music (AMÁS Miusic), inclusive art (Arte Inclusivo), and decision-making support (AMÁS Contigo).

The foundation generates revenue through four primary streams: (1) public funding and service contracts from regional (Comunidad de Madrid) and municipal governments (Móstoles, Leganés, Fuenlabrada, Alcorcón) plus Imserso; (2) social enterprise operations through Centros Especiales de Empleo offering industrial manipulation, certified laundry, cleaning, concierge, and gardening services; (3) donations and recurring memberships (socios); and (4) vocational training services including the inclusive specialty coffee school Cafetería Escuela de Especialidad Inclusiva. The go-to-market is community-led, leveraging family associations, volunteers, corporate CSR partners, and public administrations to reach beneficiaries across six municipalities in Southern Madrid.

In 2024, the foundation achieved 119 labor insertions, and in 2025 delivered 175 training actions and over 7,000 hours of professional development. The 77% job retention rate among graduates of the Escuela Más y Menos demonstrates workforce outcomes. Recent strategic activity includes the 2026 launch of AMÁS Contigo (decision-making support under Law 8/21), specialty coffee partnerships with Supracafé and Cafés el Magnífico, deepened automotive inclusive employment with Martínrea, and exploratory international engagement with Slovenia's ZAVOD RISA. The foundation has received the Reina Letizia Award for Inclusive Culture (2018), Madrid Excelente certification, and Cruz de Plata Civil Solidarity order, among other recognitions.
