Fundación CreSeres

What Fundación CreSeres does

Fundación CreSeres is a Chilean nonprofit foundation founded in 2012 in Temuco, La Araucanía, that specializes in executing government-contracted child and adolescent protection programs. The foundation operates 61 specialized programs across 12 Chilean regions from Arica to Punta Arenas, employing over 600 professionals. Its portfolio includes seven core program modalities: PIE (specialized rights-violation intervention), FAE (specialized foster family care), AFT-PF (territorial family accompaniment), PPF (focused prevention), PDC (substance abuse intervention), PDE (educational reinsertion), and PRM (serious abuse and sexual abuse protection). The foundation is the sole accredited executing body for these programs under contracts with the Servicio de Protección Especializada a la Niñez y Adolescencia (Mejor Niñez), the Chilean government entity responsible for specialized child protection.

The foundation's operational methodology centers on a transversal approach integrating art, culture, and sports as therapeutic intervention tools, delivered through professional teams embedded in communities. Supporting infrastructure includes wholly-owned subsidiaries: CreseresEduca (continuous education platform), Corporación Educacional INAPEWMA (formal education within juvenile justice centers), Centro de Estudios CreSeres (research and academic publications), and FAE Pro (specialized foster care program). Revenue derives entirely from government program contracts, with supplementary non-revenue partnerships spanning cultural organizations, academic institutions, and NGOs.

The organization is governed as a nonprofit foundation with no shareholders, overseen by a board of directors. Executive Director Carmen Gloria Hidalgo Belmar leads the institution. Strategic institutional partners include UNICEF Chile, SENAME, MINEDUC, and JUNAEB, alongside operational collaborators such as Fundación Ronald McDonald and Universidad Diego Portales. The foundation recently updated internal regulations to comply with Chile's Ley Karin (Law N°21.643) on workplace harassment prevention, indicating active governance maturation.
