What Fundación Adsis does

Fundación Adsis is a private Spanish non-profit foundation (charitable-assistance entity, registered with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs under number 28/1019) headquartered in Madrid at Calle de los Peñascales 14, 28028. Formally established in 1996 with operational roots dating to 1972 in Navarra, the organization delivers integrated social-action programs - education, vocational training, employment insertion, housing support, addiction day-care, prison reintegration, migrant integration, and family services - through 30+ direct-attention centers across 13 Spanish provinces and additional development-cooperation programs in Latin America. Core offerings are delivered as people-centered services rather than technology products; there is no proprietary software platform. The organization partners with Asociación Española de Escuelas de Segunda Oportunidad (E2O certification), and Centro Basauri holds ISO 9001:2015.

In 2025, Fundación Adsis accompanied 80,717 people (54,369 through social-action programs in Spain and 26,348 through development cooperation in Latin America); cumulative impact since founding is cited at over one million lives transformed. The beneficiary mix spans young people at risk of exclusion (15–30), vulnerable families, people with addiction disorders, people deprived and formerly deprived of liberty, migrants and immigrants, and women in vulnerable situations.

Revenue is generated through a diversified, multi-stakeholder model: (1) recurring individual memberships from €12/month and one-time donations; (2) corporate partnerships and sponsorships with entities including Puratos, Fundación "la Caixa", CaixaBank, Iberdrola, Telefónica, Orange, Michelin, Domino's Pizza, and Big Mamma Group; (3) regional and national government grants (Generalitat Valenciana, Gobierno Vasco, Junta de Castilla y León, Generalitat de Catalunya, Gobierno de Canarias, Gobierno de Navarra, Comunidad de Madrid, Ayuntamiento de Madrid, Ministerio de Educación); (4) EU structural and development funds; and (5) commercial revenue from Equimercado, the foundation's fair-trade e-commerce brand distributing ecological food and natural cosmetics from 65+ Latin American producer groups. Distribution is direct-to-beneficiary via own centers plus online commerce via equimercado.org. The organization is audited by CONGDE and analyzed by Fundación Lealtad for transparency and good practices.
