Cooperación Internacional - IYC

What Cooperación Internacional - IYC does

Cooperación Internacional - IYC (legal name: ASOCIACIÓN COOPERACIÓN INTERNACIONAL, CIF G-80829641) is a Spanish non-profit association (Asociación) headquartered at C/ Núñez Morgado, 3 - 3º, 28036 Madrid, founded in 1993 with 171 employees and operations across all 15 Spanish autonomous communities plus India, Côte d'Ivoire, and Colombia. The organization runs a portfolio of more than a dozen social and international-development programs, including Cocina Social Vistalegre (a Madrid social kitchen producing 480-560 meals weekly and 86,320 menus over four years), Painting for Others (housing rehabilitation that delivered 44 home renovations with 700+ youth volunteers in the past year), the Programa de Liderazgo Social (education-sports-volunteering model replicated in Zaragoza, Valencia, Sevilla, and Ibagué, Colombia), Youth Leadership Program in the Baiganwadi slum of Mumbai, and Centro Médico-Social Walé in Yamoussoukro (a healthcare center serving as regional HIV reference point with 200 HIV-free births recorded). The technology footprint is essentially non-existent as the organization's value is delivered through volunteer labor and human service provision.

Revenue is generated through three streams rather than product pricing: individual donations and memberships (including Bizum-enabled recurring contributions), corporate volunteering and project sponsorships (with companies such as Boeing, Bergner, Arkose, Mutua Madrileña, Mercadona, KFC, BBVA, and Palacio Vistalegre providing funds, volunteers, or in-kind goods), and institutional grants from Spanish government bodies and foundations (Cabildo de Tenerife, Ministerio de Trabajo, Gobierno de Aragón, Comunidad de Madrid, Fundación Mutua Madrileña, Banco Sabadell ethical investment fund, Lazard). Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: recruitment flows through corporate volunteer programs, educational institutions (Colegio de Fomento El Prado, CEIP Santo Domingo), and grassroots volunteer networks, while fundraising is anchored by the annual Torneo Benéfico Interempresas de Fútbol 7, now in its 14th edition with 10+ corporate teams. Beneficiaries include children at risk of social exclusion, food-insecure families, homeless individuals, low-income homeowners, HIV-positive mothers in West Africa, and slum-dwelling youth in Mumbai, all served free of charge.
