Fundación Alentia

What Fundación Alentia does

Fundación Alentia is a Spanish non-profit foundation headquartered in Madrid that delivers psychosocial support services to vulnerable children and adolescents. Its portfolio spans individualized psychotherapies, social-inclusion programs, mentorship, psychoeducational workshops, and material support such as book and school-meal scholarships (Becas de Libros, Becas Comedor). Core programs include Emociona-les (emotional well-being), Aprendiendo a ser Mayor, Poderosas (girls' empowerment), Voluntarios Alentia (volunteer engagement), Talleres Psicoeducativos, Mentoría Social, and Terapias Individualizadas.

The foundation operates with a small multidisciplinary team of approximately 13 employees, relying on credentialed psychologists, social workers, and educators to deliver in-person and (since 2024) digital services through the Alentia Digital program. Service delivery is concentrated in the Madrid region, with distribution driven by institutional partnerships rather than commercial sales channels.

The revenue model is grant-and-donation based. Funding sources include IRPF tax-assignment allocations (Spanish personal-income-tax designation for social-purpose causes), regional grants from the Comunidad de Madrid, Next Generation EU framework funding, corporate co-funding arrangements (notably with Fundación Sanitas), and individual donations. The foundation does not appear to operate a fee-for-service or commercial revenue line, and its expansion is structurally constrained by the size of its grant pool and the headcount it can sustain on that funding.
