What EAPN España does

EAPN España (European Anti-Poverty Network Spain), legally 'European Anti Poverty Network España' (CIF G45556586), is a non-profit association headquartered in Madrid that coordinates the Spanish branch of the European Anti-Poverty Network. Refounded in its current form in 2004, it unites 19 territorial networks and 24 state-level entities that collectively represent more than 8,000 social organizations across Spain. Its mission is to combat poverty and social exclusion through four strategic axes: political and social advocacy, research and knowledge, social participation and grassroots engagement, and capacity building.

The organization's core 'products' are not commercial technology offerings but institutional assets: the annual 'El Estado de la Pobreza en España' report (the XVI edition was presented at the Congress of Deputies in June 2026), the Observatorio de la Pobreza y la Desigualdad, the 'EAPN Flash' newsletter, the Microrrelatos literary contest, the European Congress against Poverty and Social Exclusion, and the State Youth Participation Encounters. Operational infrastructure consists of a 14-person Technical Secretariat led by Director José Javier López (total headcount of 26), the www.eapn.es website, AcumbaMail for newsletters, RedSYS Comercia Global Pay (Kutxabank) for donations, SSL-encrypted hosting managed by Gestión y Servicios Resources SL, and active corporate profiles across Facebook, Bluesky, X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

EAPN España is funded by voluntary contributions from individuals, businesses, and public and private institutions. It does not disclose pricing, membership fees, or financial statements publicly. Governance is exercised through a General Assembly, Executive Committee, and Permanent Commission, with President Carlos Susías Rodado simultaneously serving as President of EAPN Europa. The organization holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and was awarded the 2008 Gold Medal of the Civil Order of Social Solidarity by the Spanish Government. End beneficiaries include the 12.6 million people in Spain at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE rate 25.7%), while institutional stakeholders include national and regional policymakers, member organizations, donors, and the general public.
