FUNDACIÓ HOSPITALITAT

What FUNDACIÓ HOSPITALITAT does

Fundació Hospitalitat is a private non-profit foundation established in 2002 in Barcelona by the Hospitalitat de la Mare de Déu de Lourdes (legal name: Fundació Hospitalitat De La Mare De Déu De Lourdes De Barcelona, NIF G-62893128, registered foundation #1658 with the Generalitat de Catalunya). Its mission is to promote autonomy and social inclusion for people with disabilities — primarily intellectual disabilities — and to host people with illnesses and their families/caregivers. The organization operates four core service lines plus two complementary programs, all within Barcelona: CAE Bernadette (specialized day care with personal development supports including swimming, equinotherapy, animal-assisted therapy, and music therapy), Llar Montjuïc (residential service for adults using socio-laboral services), Revissió de Vida (monthly peer-discussion group), Lleure i Respir (weekend respite and leisure stays), and Habitatge i Suport a Persones amb Malaltia (temporary shared accommodation for families traveling to Barcelona for medical treatment). In 2025 it added Fisioteràpia a la sala multisensorial, a physiotherapy service delivered in a multisensory room.

The underlying delivery model is direct service provision through foundation-operated centers, with referrals routed primarily through the Departament d'Acció Social i Ciutadania and CAD (Equip de Valoració d'adults) evaluations, supplemented by hospital social work referrals for the medical-accommodation program. Service quality is governed under a UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (valid until 2026, issued by Oca).

As a non-profit, the foundation does not sell services to beneficiaries; funding flows from three streams: voluntary donations from individuals and private companies, recurring 'Fes-te Amic' memberships (€12, €30, or €50 monthly/quarterly/annual tiers plus custom amounts), and public-administration subsidies from Generalitat de Catalunya, Diputació de Barcelona, and Ajuntament de Barcelona. It reports 13 employees, maintains social media presence on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, runs community events (e.g., benefit concerts), and publicly discloses annual memòries, audited accounts, and governance policies. No parent company, subsidiaries, or external investors are identified.

Direct peers

• Fisher House Foundation: US-based nonprofit providing temporary housing near medical centers for families of patients receiving care. Conceptually analogous to the foundation's patient/family accommodation program, demonstrating the replicability of this model across geographies.
• Ronald McDonald House Charities Spain: Provides temporary accommodation to families of seriously ill children receiving medical treatment in Spanish hospitals. Directly comparable to Fundació Hospitalitat's Habitatge i Suport a Persones amb Malaltia service in mission, beneficiary profile, and operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Fundación ONCE: Spain's largest foundation for people with disabilities (with particular focus on blindness). Much broader scope and scale than Fundació Hospitalitat, but operates in the same disability-services space with similar advocacy and inclusion objectives.

Others

• COCEMFE: Spanish national confederation representing people with physical and organic disabilities. Operates a national network of disability service organizations analogous in function to Fundació Hospitalitat's local disability services.
• Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras (FEDER): Spanish federation representing patients with rare diseases and their families. Shares with Fundació Hospitalitat a focus on supporting people with serious illnesses and their caregivers, particularly those requiring travel for specialized treatment.
• ASPACE: Spanish confederation of organizations supporting people with cerebral palsy. Comparable in serving people with significant disabilities through specialized care centers, day programs, and residential services.
• Dincat: Catalan federation of organizations serving people with intellectual disabilities. Fundació Hospitalitat is a partner of Dincat, and the two share a focus on intellectual-disability support and social inclusion in Catalonia.
• Cáritas Diocesana de Barcelona: Catholic social-services nonprofit operating in Barcelona with overlapping beneficiary populations (vulnerable families, people with illness and disabilities). Similar funding model combining donations, public subsidies, and volunteer labor.
• Fundació Catalana per a la Paràlisi Cerebral: Catalan foundation serving people with cerebral palsy through specialized services. Geographic and beneficiary overlap with Fundació Hospitalitat's disability services in Catalonia.

Emerging players

• Pequeño Deseo: Spanish foundation that grants wishes to children with serious chronic illnesses. Adjacent to Fundació Hospitalitat's illness-support services in mission and beneficiary profile, though focused on a narrower pediatric use case.
