What AFAS - Asociación de Familiares y Amigos de personas con Discapacidad. does

AFAS — Asociación de Familiares y Amigos de Personas con Discapacidad (operating as AFAS Tomelloso) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 1977, registered under CIF G13010152 across multiple national and provincial registries, and headquartered in Tomelloso, Ciudad Real (Castile-La Mancha). The organization delivers comprehensive, person-centered services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families across the full life cycle — from early intervention (Atención Temprana, ages 0–3) and developmental support (Servicio Crecer, ages 3–21), through autism-spectrum services (TEA / PROTEA), assessment and diagnosis, occupational centers, day centers, residential accommodation (Alojamiento), and supported employment and training (Servicio de Capacitación), complemented by leisure and volunteering programs and family support services.

Its portfolio also includes specialized social-enterprise and innovation projects: the La Valiosa food-truck and SocialBakery (with Panaderos Artesanos J. Sánchez), the Centro Hípico AFAS for adapted equestrian therapy, Huertos Urbanos (urban gardens), Peñarroya Accesible and EVATRA (accessible tourism at Castillo de Peñarroya in Argamasilla de Alba), and the Mi CASA deinstitutionalization innovation project funded by NextGenerationEU. Digital infrastructure consists of a WordPress website and the Berrly mobile application (available on Google Play and App Store) providing a virtual membership card and access to the Red de Colaboradores partner discount network.

The business model is a hybrid non-profit structure combining three revenue streams: (i) recurring individual and corporate membership subscriptions (€25–€100 for individuals, €100–€500 for companies, annual billing with Spanish tax-deduction benefits), (ii) one-time donations from individuals and corporates (with tiered tax deductibility up to 80%/45%), and (iii) institutional funding — the dominant stream — comprising service conventions with municipal governments (e.g., €436,900 + €61,000 with Alcázar de San Juan), grants from the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha (€498,583 in 2021–2022, co-financed by FEDER), European Social Fund contributions, and NextGenerationEU recovery funds routed through the Ministry of Social Rights and Plena Inclusión. AFAS operates 300+ professionals across five municipalities (Tomelloso, La Solana, Alcázar de San Juan, Argamasilla de Alba, Bolaños de Calatrava) and is governed by a board led by President Luis Perales Ramírez, with Bernabé Blanco as Gerente.

Broad incumbents

• COCEMFE (Confederación Española de Personas con Discapacidad Física y Orgánica): Spanish national confederation coordinating associations serving people with physical and organic disabilities. Comparable as a national-level disability umbrella with similar funding, advocacy and service-delivery models, although its primary focus is physical rather than intellectual disabilities like AFAS.
• ASPACE (Confederación ASPACE): Spanish confederation of associations for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities with similar full-life-cycle service portfolios (early intervention, occupational centers, residential, employment). Direct structural peer to AFAS in the disability NGO space, with many regional member associations operating comparable service models.
• Plena Inclusión España: National federation of associations for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Spain, of which AFAS is a member. Directly comparable as an umbrella organization coordinating services, advocacy and federal project funding (including the Mi CASA initiative) for member associations like AFAS.
• Down España: Spanish federation coordinating associations serving people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities. Highly comparable service mix (early intervention, supported employment, family support, inclusive leisure) and is a federal-level peer to AFAS's local full-lifecycle model.
• Fundación ONCE: Large Spanish foundation supporting employment, accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. Comparable as a strategic funding and partnership partner to AFAS (Fundación ONCE grants equipment, supports equestrian centers), and operates in the same disability-services ecosystem across Spain.
• CEAPAT-IMSERSO: Spanish national reference center for accessibility and assistive technology, part of IMSERSO. Comparable to AFAS in the assistive accessibility and disability support domain, though operating as a national research/coordination entity rather than a local direct-service provider.

Direct peers

• Astrade (Asociación para la Atención de Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual): Regional Spanish disability association offering similar comprehensive lifecycle services (early intervention, occupational centers, residential, employment). Closest operating-model peer to AFAS outside of Castilla-La Mancha, providing a comparable benchmark for service quality and scale.
• FEACAB (Federación de asociaciones de personas con discapacidad de Castilla-La Mancha): Regional federation of disability associations in Castilla-La Mancha. Most direct structural peer to AFAS as a regional coordinating body operating in the same province, channeling public funds and representing member organizations with comparable service portfolios.

Emerging players

• Adapta Sport España: Spanish organization promoting inclusive sport and adaptive physical activities for people with disabilities. Comparable to AFAS's Centro Hípico AFAS (adaptive equestrian) and Ocio y Voluntariado service lines, with a narrower focus on sports vs AFAS's full-service model.

Regional players

• Fundación Tutelar CASTILLA-LA MANCHA: Regional guardianship foundation in Castilla-La Mancha supporting people with intellectual disabilities. Comparable as a regional ecosystem partner/peer to AFAS within the same province, addressing guardianship and legal support needs adjacent to AFAS's service offering.
