Fundació Bofill

What Fundació Bofill does

Fundació Bofill, operating publicly as Equitat.org since a 2025 rebrand, is a non-profit foundation established in 1968 and headquartered at Hub Social, Girona 34, Barcelona. Its mission is to advance educational equity in Catalonia through the generation of rigorous research, advocacy, and direct programs aimed at ensuring that children's educational outcomes are not determined by their place of birth. Core outputs include the annual Anuari de l'Educació a Catalunya (a flagship research publication tracking educational indicators and trajectories), the Som Coders digital literacy program, a multilingual blog, and an archive of policy publications and executive summaries.

The foundation operates as a research and advocacy platform rather than a technology product company. Its underlying "technology" is a knowledge generation engine combining annual reports, blog content, infographics, public events, and conferences. Distribution occurs through a multilingual website (Catalan, English, Spanish), email newsletters to 40,000+ subscribers, social channels across X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and in-person events at Hub Social Barcelona and external venues. No mobile app, API, SDK, or AI/ML infrastructure is disclosed.

Its business model is that of a non-profit foundation: revenue derives from institutional funding, grants, and donations rather than commercial products or services. All resources are provided free of charge, and the GTM motion is community-led, relying on coalitions of 5,000+ Catalan entities, local administrations, and direct engagement with educators, families, and researchers rather than sales or marketing funnels.

Direct peers

• Fundació Pere Tarrés: Catalan foundation focused on education and social action through leisure and community programs. Closely comparable as a regional Catalan non-profit delivering education-related community programs and research.
• Educo: A child-focused NGO working on education equity and child welfare, including in Spain. Directly comparable mission, beneficiary base (disadvantaged children), and operating model as a non-profit delivering programs and advocacy.

Broad incumbents

• Save the Children Spain: Spanish affiliate of Save the Children, a major international NGO with significant education equity programs targeting disadvantaged children in Spain. Overlaps on mission, beneficiary segments, and advocacy approach, but with substantially greater scale and global brand.
• UNICEF Spain: Spanish committee of UNICEF, focused on child rights including education equity. Comparable beneficiary focus and advocacy model, but operating as part of a global institution with vastly larger resources.
• Fundació La Caixa: One of Spain's largest private foundations, with significant education and social welfare programs including the 'EduCaixa' platform. Comparable as a Spanish grantmaking and operating foundation working in education, but with much broader scope and resources.

Regional players

• Injucam (Fundación Integral para la Juventud): A youth-focused Spanish foundation addressing education and social inclusion for young people. Comparable beneficiary population and non-profit advocacy model, though not specialized in education-equity research.

Others

• UNESCO: UN agency producing global education policy research, indicators, and frameworks (including annual education reports). Comparable as a producer of education policy research and indicator-based publications, but at a global rather than regional scale.
• Open Society Foundations: International grantmaking foundation with substantial investment in education equity and inclusion. Comparable thematically through shared focus on education justice, but operates as a funder rather than a direct program deliverer.
