Fundación Acic

What Fundación Acic does

Fundación ACIC (legal name: Fundación Acciones con Ingeniería Colombiana) is a private non-profit foundation founded in 2014 in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, operating as the dedicated social arm of the Colombian infrastructure and construction sector. It emerged from the liquidation of the Asociación Colombiana de Ingenieros Constructores (ACIC), Seccional Antioquia, and was created by and for sector companies to strengthen social capital with workers, contractors, suppliers, and communities affected by infrastructure projects.

The foundation delivers a four-program platform: Juntos Transformamos Vidas (integral worker wellness covering financial health, emotional health, housing improvement, and skills development), Camino a la Sostenibilidad (corporate sustainability and ESG/ASG reporting under international standards), Voluntariado Corporativo (corporate volunteering), and Buen Vecino (community relations and social license to operate). Specialized sub-services include the Orejas de Elefante social support program and a Programa de Formación en Salud Financiera. Programs are delivered on-site at member company facilities, co-created and adapted to each organization's schedule and needs; the foundation does not sell software but rather provides consulting, training, and program management services.

ACIC's business model rests on membership dues and professional service fees from approximately 42 Colombian infrastructure companies organized into a founding tier (25 members including CONINSA, Ingeniería y Contratos, Ingeniería Total, Constructora Precomprimidos, Concesión Túnel Aburrá Oriente) and an adhering tier (17 companies including Construcciones El Cóndor, Vías S.A., Ingeomega, Indural). A small core team of four people executes the programs, and impact metrics cited include 41 companies impacted, more than 4,700 workers trained in financial health, over 400 families with improved or formalized housing, and more than 2,500 individuals trained in life and work skills.
