PAN Corporación Social

What PAN Corporación Social does

PAN Corporación Social (legal name: COMITÉ PRIVADO DE ASISTENCIA A LA NIÑEZ PAN) is a nonprofit social services organization founded in 1970 in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of programs for vulnerable children, adolescents, and families — including child sponsorship (Plan Padrinos PANas), solidarity donation products (Bonos Solidarios), five physical safe spaces called Ludotecas La Visitación, foster family and emergency placement programs (Hogar Sustituto and Hogar de Paso), and program verticals spanning education and opportunities, biopsychosocial wellbeing, social capital and community building, entrepreneurship and economic development, and nutrition. Its technology stack is limited to internal operations tooling: Microsoft Power BI dashboards for management reporting, and Power Apps applications for order loading, inventory, and maintenance tracking. There is no proprietary AI/ML capability, no public APIs, and no consumer-facing software product.

The organization's revenue model is donation-driven and diversified across individual recurring sponsors (monthly Padrino tiers at $30K–$100K COP), one-time individual donations via the website (preset amounts of $100K, $300K, $500K COP), Bonos Solidarios occasion-based giving ($60K–$230K COP), corporate partnerships, and international donations through the GlobalGiving marketplace. Payments are processed through the Wompi gateway (by Bancolombia) and direct bank transfer. GTM is community-led, relying on the Padrinos/PANas sponsorship community, volunteer networks (PANas de la Niñez), and corporate engagement. Operating geographies span Medellín and Antioquia, plus the departments of Cundinamarca and Santander. No revenue, headcount, or financials are publicly disclosed.
