Círvite

What Círvite does

Círvite (legally Círculo Convivencial Límite "CÍRVITE") is a non-profit association declared of public utility, founded in 1983 in Madrid by a group of parents seeking employment, training, and housing alternatives for their children with intellectual disabilities. The organization delivers a coordinated portfolio of disability services to approximately 150 publicly funded beneficiaries across three core programs: COFOIL (an occupational, training, and labor-insertion day center with 87 intensive day places plus 8 employment-support places), four supported-living homes (viviendas tuteladas) with capacity for 30 residents of which 19 are publicly funded, and Reshogar — inaugurated in 2023 as the first Passivhaus-certified residential facility for people with intellectual disabilities in Spain, offering 44 residential places across four cohabitation units. Complementary service lines include cognitive accessibility and easy-to-read document adaptation (Servicio Adapta via Plena Inclusión Madrid), psychological and family support, legal guardianship (curatela), volunteer management, dining services, and handcrafted "Trofeos con Alma" artisanal trophies.

The business model is anchored on six Framework Agreements (Acuerdos Marco) with the Community of Madrid's Consejería de Políticas Sociales y Familia, which reimburse per-plaza public service delivery. Revenue is supplemented by individual membership fees (€8/month general membership, €50/month AMA enhanced membership), corporate CSR partnerships, European Social Fund co-financing for labor insertion, Next Generation EU modernization grants, legacy/inheritance donations, and limited commercial product sales. Approximately 30 interdisciplinary professionals — coordinators, social workers, psychologists, educators, caregivers, and administrative staff — operate the services under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system. The entity is a member of Plena Inclusión Madrid, Plena Inclusión España, FEDER, Red Innicia, Plataforma del Tercer Sector, and CERMI Madrid, providing ecosystem positioning but no external commercial moat beyond Madrid. Technology footprint is conventional IT plus Passivhaus building engineering; no AI, proprietary software products, or scalable SaaS components are present.
