CoordiCanarias

What CoordiCanarias does

CoordiCanarias (legal name: Coordinadora de Personas con Discapacidad Física de Canarias) is a non-profit association founded in 1980 in La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, created and driven by people with physical disabilities. It is the leading regional reference organization in the Canary Islands for disability rights and social inclusion, addressing accessibility barriers, lack of autonomy, limited social participation, and inadequate support services for people with physical disabilities and their families. The organization operates five primary service areas: Integral Care, Employment, Training and Innovation, Leisure, and Participation and Accessible Culture, supported by a sixth gender-equality-focused area for women with disabilities.

The organization's portfolio spans roughly 18 active programs and projects, including the employment-focused DRACAENA series (co-financed by Servicio Canario de Empleo), educational outreach (TAIDA Radio Escolar across 36 public schools serving 550+ students), accessible tourism (Sintiendo mi Ciudad), adapted sports (Activados), accessible urban art (TENIQUE, six editions), telecare research (Teleasistencia Avanzada, 90+ participants across Tenerife, La Palma, and Lanzarote), and gender equality programs (Encontrándonos, Magarza Crea, Parlamento Canario de la Mujer). Most recently, CoordiCanarias launched CompañIA, an AI conversational assistant pilot with 10 users, supporting Canarian Spanish dialect, personalized conversation memory, and adaptive user profiles, funded by Dirección General de Discapacidad IRPF subsidies. The organization's digital presence is WCAG 2.2 AA-certified with high-contrast, screen-reader, and dyslexia-friendly font adaptation built into the website.

CoordiCanarias is primarily funded through multi-source government subsidies (Gobierno de Canarias — Dirección General de Discapacidad, Dirección General de Dependencia; Servicio Canario de Empleo; IRPF grants) supplemented by small recurring memberships (€5/month), variable donations (€1–€10,000 via Stripe), and corporate partnership engagements. Its go-to-market is community-led: direct office-based service delivery in La Laguna plus program delivery across Tenerife, La Palma, and Lanzarote through institutional partnerships with municipalities, educational centers, and neighborhood associations. The organization runs roughly 10 employees and has been recognized for cultural inclusion initiatives, including a 2026 Mención Especial Diversidad e Inclusión at the Cinedfest festival for the short film 'Mi amigo Alisio'.

Others

• CERMI: Comité Español de Representantes de Personas con Discapacidad — Spanish disability advocacy umbrella that represents CoordiCanarias and similar organizations at the national policy level. Comparable as an ecosystem participant shaping disability policy and funding frameworks.

Broad incumbents

• Plena Inclusión: Spanish federation of organizations for people with intellectual disabilities. Overlaps as a non-profit disability umbrella providing employment, autonomy, and inclusion services, though focused on intellectual rather than physical disability.
• Fundación ONCE: Foundation associated with ONCE focused on employment and accessibility for people with disabilities. Comparable in vocational rehabilitation (DRACAENA) and accessibility initiatives but operates nationally with substantially larger resources.
• ONCE: Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles — the largest disability organization in Spain with a much broader mandate (primarily visual impairment but also physical disability). Overlaps in employment insertion, accessible culture, and social services but at vastly greater scale.

Direct peers

• COCEMFE: Spanish national confederation of physical and organic disability organizations. Directly comparable as a peer-level umbrella for physical disability NGOs, including Canary Islands member associations.
• FEACEM: Confederación Española de Agrupaciones de Personas con Discapacidad Física — Spanish confederation of physical disability groups operating with a similar federation-of-associations structure and service scope.
• PREDIF: Plataforma Representativa Estatal de Personas con Discapacidad Física — national platform representing physical disability organizations in Spain, with similar scope of services (employment, accessibility, autonomy) and a comparable member-driven governance model.
• ASPAYM: Asociación de Lesionados Medulares y Grandes Discapacitados Físicos — Spanish association serving people with severe physical disabilities, offering comparable programs in autonomy, employment insertion, and accessible tourism.

Emerging players

• Fundación Adecco: Spanish foundation focused on labor inclusion of people with disabilities. Comparable in employment insertion programs (similar to DRACAENA and Bolsa de Empleo) and accessible training, but operates nationally and is more focused on employer partnerships.

Regional players

• Funcasor: Canary Islands federation of associations for deaf people — comparable regional non-profit operating across the same Canary Islands geography with similar service areas (employment, accessibility, cultural inclusion) but focused on hearing disability.
