Fepccat

What Fepccat does

FEPCCAT (Federació de la Paràlisi Cerebral i la Pluridiscapacitat de Catalunya) is a non-profit second-level federation founded in 2000 that coordinates 15 member entities providing services to people with cerebral palsy and pluridiscapacity across Catalonia. The federation serves as the principal representative body for this collective, advocating on its behalf before the Parliament of Catalonia and engaging in policy development through bodies such as COCARMI, Taula del Tercer Sector, and La Confederaci\u00f3. Its member entities collectively support more than 13,000 people and families, with FEPCCAT itself employing a small technical team of approximately 6 staff supplemented by volunteers.\n\nThe federation's core "products" are social programs and advocacy initiatives rather than commercial technology products. Active programs include the annual solidarity race 'En Marxa per la Paràlisi Cerebral' (14 editions since 2011, drawing 2,600+ participants), the Talento ASPACE professional development project, the Proyecto Rumbo support project, the Creacions amb veu pròpia cultural inclusion project, the Cuida't per Cuidar Bé family psychological support program, and the FEPCCAT A Prop podcast. Notable partnerships include research collaborations with Consorci Sanitari del Maresme on dysphagia interventions (achieving 93% improvement in student outcomes), cultural work with Fundació Joan Miró, and ongoing sponsorship from Ipsen Pharma (15,000 EUR donation) and Fundació Barça.\n\nRevenue is generated through a mix of public grants (Departament de Drets Socials, Diputació de Barcelona, municipalities of Barcelona and Lleida), membership dues from 15 member entities, race registration fees (3-11 EUR per participant), and corporate sponsorships and donations. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: the annual race serves as the primary awareness and fundraising vehicle, while institutional advocacy and direct service coordination through member entities drive member value. The organization operates exclusively in Catalonia, with its headquarters in Barcelona and a registered base in Lleida.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights8 records

Emerging players

• FEDER (Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras): Spanish federation representing associations of patients with rare diseases. Comparable advocacy, awareness, and federation-of-associations structure but focused on rare-disease populations, partially overlapping with the pluridiscapacity segment FEPCCAT serves.

Direct peers

• Down España: Spanish federation for Down syndrome and intellectual disability associations. Shares the second-level federation model, member-entity network structure, regional political advocacy, and family-support programming that defines FEPCCAT's operating model.
• Confederación ASPACE: National Spanish federation of cerebral palsy associations, of which FEPCCAT is a member. Coordinates the Talento ASPACE project and represents the cerebral palsy collective at the national level, making it the most direct structural analogue to FEPCCAT.
• United Cerebral Palsy (UCP): US national federation of cerebral palsy affiliates delivering advocacy, services, and research. Closest international analogue in terms of federation model, advocacy mandate, and cerebral-palsy-specific scope.
• Scope (UK disability charity): UK disability charity advocating for disabled people and providing services and information. Comparable disability-rights advocacy posture, awareness campaigns, and family/professional support programs, though at a broader disability scope than cerebral palsy alone.
• Cerebral Palsy Foundation (US): US nonprofit focused on research, innovation, and awareness for people with cerebral palsy. Comparable mission, programmatic structure (research projects, advocacy, awareness campaigns), and beneficiary focus, although operating under different funding and regulatory dynamics.

Broad incumbents

• COCEMFE: Spanish Confederation of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities. Operates as a larger, broader umbrella federation covering all physical/organic disabilities nationally, comparable in advocacy and federation-model role but at a wider scope than FEPCCAT's cerebral-palsy focus.
• Plena Inclusión: Spain's largest federation for people with intellectual disabilities and developmental disorders. Comparable second-level federation structure, public-policy advocacy posture, and member-entity service delivery model, though focused on intellectual rather than physical disabilities.

Regional players

• Federación ASPACE Andalucía: Regional cerebral palsy federation in Andalusia, directly paralleling FEPCCAT's role in Catalonia. Operates the same member-entity federation model for cerebral palsy services in a different Spanish region.
• ASPACE Bizkaia: Basque Country member of the ASPACE network providing cerebral palsy services. Comparable regional federation/foundation structure serving the same beneficiary population in a different geography.
