Cibervoluntarios

What Cibervoluntarios does

Fundación Cibervoluntarios is a Spanish non-profit foundation established in 2000 and headquartered in Madrid (Calle Pedro Unanue 14, local - 28045), with the legal name FUNDACIÓN CIBERVOLUNTARIOS and NIF G-84410158. It operates Spain's pioneering technological volunteering network, coordinating more than 4,400 volunteer technologists who deliver free digital-skills training to over 2 million people cumulatively, including 600,000+ users of its CiberAcademy online learning platform. The foundation collaborates with more than 8,600 public and private entities (town halls, NGOs, associations, businesses, and educational centers), with more than a third located in rural areas, serving elderly and digitally excluded individuals, SMEs and freelancers, vulnerable populations, women and girls, youth, and rural communities.

The technology stack centers on three operational platforms: CiberAcademy, a video-based self-paced learning platform with tutorials on mobile usage, digital certificates, online banking, video calls, and secure online shopping; YoConecto, a campaign platform coordinating free in-person digital training courses; and the main cibervoluntarios.org platform that handles volunteer registration, entity sign-ups, course enrollment, donations, and project coordination, supported by a Volunteer Extranet. The foundation is certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 27001, and the Spanish Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) scheme, and participates in EU-funded projects including Horizon Europe (TrustED, TrustChain), Erasmus+ (EDUS), and the Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia.

The business model is a multi-source non-profit funding stack with no disclosed revenue. Core training services for individuals and partner entities are provided free of charge. Funding comes from individual donations (one-time and recurring subscriptions of EUR 10, 20, or 50, eligible for IRPF tax deduction), EU and Spanish government grants across multiple ministries, and bespoke corporate services such as digital-divide programs, corporate volunteering, civic tech tool development, and CSR/ESG initiatives delivered to partners including BBVA, Red Eléctrica, Google.org, Kyndryl, and Fundación Mutua Madrileña. Go-to-market is community-led: the foundation recruits and coordinates volunteers who are matched with partner entities and beneficiaries through its platforms, with awareness amplified via website, social media (TikTok, Facebook, YouTube), email newsletter, and earned media.
