Amirax

What Amirax does

Amirax (Asociación de Minusválidos de Rincón de la Victoria – Axarquía) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 1997 and declared of Public Utility (Entidad de Utilidad Pública, CIF G29592672), headquartered in Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga. It operates a comprehensive, life-span service portfolio for persons with intellectual disability and developmental disorders, including a Centro de Atención Infantil Temprana (CAIT) for children aged 0–6, a Centro de Intervención Integral Infantil y Juvenil for children over 6 with language, behavioural, or emotional difficulties, an Adult Intervention Center offering clinical psychology and voice therapy, a Centro de Día for severe intellectual disability, a Centro de Día Ocupacional for moderate disability, an Independent Living Workshop (Taller de Vida Independiente) for mild disability, a Special Employment Centre (Centro Especial de Empleo), a residential facility currently under construction (capacity 30), and a distinctive prison reintegration programme operating in three correctional facilities. Service delivery rests on a multidisciplinary team of 9 therapists (psychologists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pedagogues) supported by purpose-built therapeutic infrastructure (seven Gesell observation chambers, sensory integration rooms, and a recycled paper workshop) and ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 / ACSA-accredited operations.

The association generates revenue through a hybrid non-profit model anchored on public concerted placements (conciertos de plazas) with the Junta de Andalucía—approximately 103 contracted places across day-centre and early-childhood-intervention services—supplemented by grants and subsidies from foundations (Fundación ONCE, Unicaja, La Caixa, Inocente Inocente), central government IRPF allocations, Diputación Provincial, the Town Hall of Rincón de la Victoria, recurring membership fees of €10/month (effective €2 post-tax-deduction), local-business partnerships (notably ACERV's ~300 affiliated merchants and advertising-funded adapted van), and community solidarity initiatives (Soles de Málaga). Operating from a purpose-built headquarters inaugurated in March 2017, 19 staff, and more than 400 served families across the Axarquía region of Málaga province, the association combines regional monopoly positioning with diversified public-and-private funding to sustain operational continuity.

Regional players

• Fundación ANDAI: Andalusian foundation providing support, day services, and social assistance to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Direct service counterpart in the same autonomous community but based in Sevilla rather than Málaga.
• ASPANIMUR: Murcia-region association for persons with intellectual disabilities, delivering early childhood, day-centre, vocational, and residential services. Comparable service portfolio and funding model but in a different autonomous community.
• FUNDOWN: Regionally focused Down syndrome foundation based in Murcia, operating early childhood, training, employment, and adult services. Comparable service mix and IPIDD focus but operates in a different autonomous community.

Direct peers

• AFANIAS: Madrid-based non-profit operating early childhood intervention, day centres, occupational workshops, employment, and residential services for persons with intellectual disabilities. Closely comparable multi-service IPIDD model with similar revenue mix of public conciertos and grants.
• Down Andalucía: Andalusian federation of Down syndrome associations serving a sub-population of intellectual disability in the same region. Shares the same public funding channels (Junta de Andalucía) and overlapping service categories around early childhood, adult day centres, and employment.
• Plena Inclusión Andalucía: Andalusian regional federation of IPIDD organisations and the direct umbrella of which Amirax is a member. Provides comparable member services, training, and representation across the same Andalusian administrative ecosystem, including junta-level coordination.

Broad incumbents

• Down España: National federation of Down syndrome associations in Spain. Operates as a broader incumbent across the IPIDD space, mirroring Amirax's life-stages service model but with national scope and a narrower primary population.
• COCEMFE: Spanish Confederation of Persons with Physical and Organic Disabilities. Broader disability umbrella spanning many impairment categories; comparable nationally in advocacy and concerted public funding channels, but not IPIDD-specific.
• Plena Inclusión: National federation of organisations serving persons with intellectual disabilities in Spain, of which Amirax is a member. Operates as a broad incumbent across the entire IPIDD sector, providing ethical code, advocacy, and aggregated representation that overlaps with Amirax's mission and beneficiary population.

Emerging players

• Confederación Autismo España: National confederation for autism spectrum disorder. Intersects with Amirax's autism-related services (Centro de Intervención Integral Infantil y Juvenil) but only partially overlaps in mission — useful comparator for the autism-specific portion of Amirax's casework.
