AFAS Tomelloso

What AFAS Tomelloso does

AFAS Tomelloso (Asociación de Familiares y Amigos de Personas con Discapacidad, CIF G13010152) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 1977 and headquartered in Tomelloso, Ciudad Real. It provides a comprehensive lifespan portfolio of social services for people with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and high support needs, plus their families, across five municipalities in Ciudad Real province (Tomelloso, La Solana, Alcázar de San Juan, Bolaños de Calatrava, and Peñarroya). The core service portfolio includes Early Intervention (Atención Temprana), Servicio Crecer (psychology), ASD assessment and support (PROTEA/TEA), residential accommodation, Occupational Center, Day Center, Training and Employment (Servicio de Capacitación), Leisure and Volunteering, and Family Support (Apoyo a Familias). It operates through 300+ professionals and is part of the Plena Inclusión Castilla-La Mancha network.

The organization's technology footprint is minimal: no proprietary platforms; services are delivered via direct, in-person methodologies grounded in person-centered planning. A mobile app (AFAS App, available on Google Play and App Store) provides members a virtual card, news, and access to the Red de Colaboradores corporate discount network, but represents conventional member-engagement functionality rather than AI-enabled tooling. Innovation projects include Mi CASA (NextGenerationEU-funded deinstitutionalization, with 11 individuals transitioned to community living), La Valiosa food-truck social enterprise (with Panaderos J. Sánchez), Ruta Verde (employment inclusion with European Social Fund support), Global-CONFORT (with Fundación Globalcaja, equipment for high-support-need beneficiaries), Peñarroya Accesible (accessible tourism with Fundación Cadisla), Centro Hípico AFAS (adapted equestrian activities co-financed by Fundación ONCE), PisiciNAMASTE (pool adaptation, Fundación Mapfre EUR 10,000), and Huertos Urbanos (urban gardens). Viñador Social 2026 recognition validated the La Valiosa model.

Revenue is derived from three streams: recurring membership fees (EUR 25–500/year for individuals and corporations, partially tax-deductible), one-time and recurring donations, and public funding/subsidies from Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha, Ayuntamiento de Tomelloso, European Social Fund, NextGenerationEU, and major Spanish foundations (Globalcaja, ONCE, Mapfre, Cadisla). Pricing for services is not publicly disclosed as the organization is a non-profit. Go-to-market is community-led: services are delivered directly at association centers, supplemented by volunteer programs, corporate partnerships, and community events. Customer segments are primarily vertical (people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, families) and secondarily horizontal (companies seeking CSR engagement).
