What Fundesplai does

Fundesplai (legal name Fundació Catalana de l'Esplai, CIF G-61096368) is a non-profit foundation headquartered at Carrer Riu Anoia 42-54 in El Prat de Llobregat, Catalonia, Spain. Formally constituted in March 1996 but operating continuously for over 45 years, the organization delivers educational leisure services for children, youth, and families across Catalonia through multiple service lines: school-based educational leisure (Món Escolar — midday educational time, extracurricular activities, school meals, trips), vacation programs (summer/winter camps, colonies), training courses, third-sector support services for non-profits, socio-educational programs for youth inclusion, and a sustainable hostel (Alberg Centre Esplai). The foundation also stewards a network of seven Biosphere-certified camp facilities in natural settings across Osona, Montseny, Solsonès, Bages, Ripollès, Garraf and Vallès Occidental, and operates the Federació Catalana de l'Esplai plus state-level Fundación Esplai, Ciudadanía Comprometida.

The operating platform combines a WooCommerce-backed online enrollment portal (activitats.fundesplai.org, escoles.fundesplai.org, cases.fundesplai.org, formacio.fundesplai.org, suport.fundesplai.org, estiu.fundesplai.org) with a mobile app launched in July 2019 and iterated through version 1.5.3 in May 2025, enabling parents to register children, complete payments, follow daily activities via photos and video, and receive urgent notifications. The foundation maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EMAS ES-CAT-275, Biosphere, and AMED Mediterranean Diet certifications, and runs a Compliance Program audited in 2022 with an Internal Information System compliant with Spanish Law 2/2023.

Fundesplai generates revenue from activity enrollment fees (school meals, extracurricular activities, vacation camps, courses), accommodation and hospitality services at its camp and hostel network (e.g., €49/person for sports stays, €60/person for teambuilding, €750-€1,075 per family for vacation packages), training courses, and donations/grants supporting a scholarship program of approximately 9,000 bursaries for vulnerable children. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through the website and mobile app, supplemented by direct school contracts and partner channels via the esplai federation network. Customer segments span families (primary), schools, sports organizations, companies, AMPA/AFA parent associations, functional-diversity organizations, and esplai youth groups.
