Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad

What Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad does

Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad (FAS) is a Spanish non-profit foundation established in 2000 in Madrid, financed primarily by the Federación Española de Bebidas Espirituosas (FEBE) and co-financed through formal agreements with regional governments, the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), and other public institutions. The foundation's mission is the prevention of alcohol consumption among minors in Spain, and it operates without commercial pricing — all programs and materials are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Its flagship offering, 'Menores ni una Gota' (Not a Drop for Minors), is an evidence-based educational program launched in 2001 in collaboration with the Universidad de Barcelona, directed at secondary school students aged 12-18, with parallel family workshops and teacher support tools.

FAS's core product is a triple-stakeholder educational intervention (students + families + teachers) delivered in-person by FAS-trained monitors (psychologists, social educators, pedagogues) directly inside secondary schools. Distribution is executed through five main channels: direct school delivery via the monitor network (reaching 16,000+ schools and 3,000,000+ students cumulatively since 2001); a national pharmacy network agreement with the Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Farmacéuticos covering 22,000 pharmacies; government-partnered delivery channels in eight autonomous communities (Andalucía, Extremadura, Galicia, Madrid, Cataluña, Cantabria, Asturias, Balearic Islands); an online teacher platform ('Las Caras del Alcohol'); and transit-media campaigns embedded in Metro Madrid, EMT, and Renfe inventory. Supporting products include 'Gestionando Hijos' (a parental guidance publication), 'Programa para Embarazadas' (a maternal-zero-alcohol program with the Asociación Española de Matronas), and 'Cuentos para flipar con la vida' (an annual primary-school storytelling competition).

The business model is institutional rather than commercial. Revenue derives from two streams: (1) core operational funding from FEBE, and (2) co-financing and project grants from regional governments, DGT, Fundación La Caixa, and municipalities that fund program delivery, monitor training, and materials in their territories. Outcome metrics audited by the Instituto Deusto de Drogodependencias indicate 70% positive behavior change among trained minors, 97% school repeat-participation rate, and satisfaction scores of 4.5-4.9 out of 5. The foundation employs 1-10 staff and is governed by a Scientific Committee and Board of Trustees, with Bosco Torremocha serving as Director General.

Revenue model

1. Institutional funding (FEBE): Fundación Alcohol y Sociedad is a non-profit entity (entidad sin ánimo de lucro) financed by the Federación Española de Bebidas Espirituosas (FEBE). FEBE provides core operational funding, enabling the foundation to carry out its public-service mission of alcohol prevention education without charging beneficiaries.
2. Co-financing and project grants from public institutions: Regional governments (Junta de Extremadura, Junta de Andalucía, etc.) and public bodies (DGT, La Caixa) co-finance specific programs through formal collaboration agreements. These agreements typically fund program delivery, monitor training, and materials in their respective territories, supplementing FEBE's base funding.
