Aspace Zaragoza

What Aspace Zaragoza does

Fundación ASPACE Zaragoza is a private non-profit foundation established in 1975 in Zaragoza, Spain, providing comprehensive, lifespan-oriented care for people with cerebral palsy and related pathologies. The organization operates a single integrated campus at Ctra. Huesca (vía El Zorongo) that houses its Residencia (48 residents), Centro de Día de Adultos, Aula 0-3 early-intervention classroom, CEE San Germán special education school, and the pioneering Unidades de Convivencia co-living units launched in April 2025. It also runs the ASPACE Tutelar guardianship, curatorship, and judicial defense service, the Asociación Deportiva ASPACE Aragón (adapted sports including boccia and slalom), and a multi-disciplinary therapy portfolio spanning physiotherapy, speech therapy, psychological support, music therapy, and adapted transport. The organization is part of the national Confederación ASPACE movement and the Federación Aragonesa de ASPACE, and is governed by a Patronato (board of trustees) led by Mónica Iglesias as Directora Gerente.

The foundation is funded through a diversified mix of public-sector contracts (Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza, Diputación Provincial, Ministerio de Sanidad Servicios Sociales e Igualdad, Fondo Social Europeo), long-tenure corporate philanthropy (la Caixa at 25 years, Ibercaja Obra Social, Fundación Carrefour, Fundación Banco Santander, Bankia en Acción), individual donations with Spanish tax deductibility, and service-related fees. Recent co-development partnerships with Amazon (InCommunities) and IKEA have funded the Unidades de Convivencia, reflecting a community-led GTM built on corporate volunteering, solidarity events (pádel tournaments raising €7,425 in 2026; firefighters' Zancadas de Ilusión raising €57,170), and rights-based advocacy campaigns including the 'Dímelo a mí' consumer-rights initiative with UCARAGÓN.

The operational stack combines care-management software (Resiplus) with assistive domain technology (multisensory rooms, AAC systems, boccia sports equipment, therapy dogs, music therapy equipment) and quality/compliance infrastructure (ENAC ISO 9001, Fundación Lealtad, RSAPLUS 2024, Sello de Excelencia Aragón Empresa Bronze 2025, Fondo Gasto Público certification). Approximately 90-96 people are currently served across the program portfolio.
