Fundación Apascovi

What Fundación Apascovi does

Fundación APASCOVI is a Spanish non-profit foundation established in 1978 (incorporated as a Foundation in 1999) that delivers a comprehensive continuum of social services to people with intellectual disabilities and their families in the northwest of the Community of Madrid. Its service portfolio spans the entire lifecycle: early intervention (Atención Temprana, ages 0-6), the APRENDO educational program (ages 6-12), occupational centers (COFOIL in Collado Villalba and Colmenarejo), a Centro Especial de Empleo (special employment center), the SERPAIS supported-employment service, day centers, residential care, supervised housing (viviendas tuteladas), and the Fundiscap guardianship service. The foundation also operates Radio APASCOVI, a leisure program, a swimming club (Club de Natación APASCOVI), and the Arte APASCOVI art-products line. Operations are distributed across seven centers in municipalities including Collado Villalba, Colmenarejo, Alpedrete, Torrelodones, Las Rozas, and Galapagar.

Revenue is generated exclusively through a mix of public subsidies (Community of Madrid is the primary funder and is the only Spanish region providing free social care to people with intellectual disability), European Social Fund and Next Generation EU co-financing, corporate donations and in-kind contributions (Carrefour, Ford, Land Rover, IKEA, Mutua Madrileña, Steelcase, Grupo Sanitario Fisi(ON)), and individual donor contributions via the "X Solidaria" tax campaign. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. The foundation holds ISO 9001:2018 certification, is a member of Plena Inclusión, and participates in the REDempleo supported-employment network. The organization employs approximately 71 staff per firmographic records (with the 40th anniversary coverage citing 150+ professionals as of 2018) and serves more than 680 users across its centers.

There is no proprietary technology platform; the operating model is fundamentally labor-intensive human services delivery. No mobile app or API surface is publicly disclosed, though REDempleo participation indicates co-development of a mobile app for supported-employment methodology.
