Apadis, San Sebastián de los Reyes

What Apadis, San Sebastián de los Reyes does

APADIS (Fundación APADIS) is a non-profit foundation headquartered in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Madrid, founded in 1981 to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in the northern Madrid region. The organization delivers a vertically integrated continuum of services spanning eight operational areas: Early Intervention (Centro de Atención Temprana for children aged 0-6, with 88 treatment and 8 follow-up plazas), Day Center (30 plazas), Housing (Community Dwellings 28+1, Hogar Amarillo residential 30, Hogar Verde with challenging-behavior specialization 28+8+2, and a group home for ASD up to 7 residents), Employment (CEE APADIS S.L. special employment center with 47 workers of whom 91% have disabilities, COFOIL occupational center with up to 110 plazas, SIL labor-inclusion service with 740 persons in its job bank), Family Support, Leisure, and Sports (Club Deportivo APADIS with 400+ athletes, including a national-first adapted golf school and the 25+ edition Carrera Solidaria por la Inclusión, with 27 editions held and ~1,000 participants in the most recent). In 2026 it added the Ala SonÁngeles specialized wing for persons with severe multiple disabilities.

The revenue model is dominantly public: APADIS operates under 'conciertos sociales' (concerted social-service contracts) with the Comunidad de Madrid that fund the majority of plaza-based service delivery, with revenue per contracted placement. Secondary streams include commercial cleaning, laundry, handling, shrink-wrapping, and mailing services sold through its wholly-owned subsidiary CEE APADIS S.L., plus donations, individual monthly 'socio protector' memberships, and corporate RSC sponsorships from named partners including Decathlon, IKEA España, Fundación Carrefour, Mercadona, Ballenoil, CaixaBank, and SIGAUS. Funded by a mix of public contracts, earned income, and philanthropy, with €8,000 per placed disabled worker in estimated annual public welfare savings cited via AEMED.

The go-to-market is community-led and direct: beneficiaries arrive through Comunidad de Madrid referral (e.g., CRECOVI for early intervention), family self-referral, and institutional contracting; engagement is sustained via signature events, an 8-area website, social channels, a newsletter, and a dense institutional network that includes Plena Inclusión Madrid, AEMED, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (service-learning), and municipal governments of San Sebastián de los Reyes and Alcobendas (the latter formalized as a registered social entity in 2026). Operating since 1981 with ISO 9001 quality certification and Fundación Lealtad 'Dona con Confianza' accreditation, APADIS reports ~155 employees and holds a near-monopolistic contracted-plaza position in its service geography.
