Fundación AFIM

What Fundación AFIM does

Fundación AFIM (legal name: Fundación Benéfico Asistencial Pura AFIM) is a Spanish non-profit foundation established in 1992 that delivers a portfolio of social inclusion services for people with disabilities and other vulnerable populations. The foundation operates through five regional delegations across Spain — headquarters in Las Rozas de Madrid plus Málaga, Murcia, Salamanca, Santander, and Valencia — and runs an integrated service portfolio spanning SEPAP (Servicios de Promoción de la Autonomía Personal) accredited by Junta de Castilla y León and Generalitat Valenciana, the Centro de Día day center in Murcia (100% concertadas with IMAS), the Unidad de Intervención Cognitiva in Valencia for cognitive rehabilitation, personalized employment insertion itineraries (Itinerarios Personalizados de Inserción Sociolaboral) co-financed by FSE+, the 12-year-running Talleres para la Autodeterminación subsidized by the Ministry of Education, and the annual Mundialito por la Inclusión community sports event.

The technology stack centers on three proprietary online platforms: the Centro AFIM Formación LMS (24/7 course catalog with multimedia content, exams, and digital certificates), the Agencia de Colocación virtual employment agency (fundacionafim.portalemp.com) that manages job seeker profiles, employer vacancies, and selection processes, and the Becas campus for scholarship management. Additional infrastructure includes ISO 9001 quality management certification and a confidential whistleblower channel compliant with Spanish Law 2/2023, featuring encrypted storage and access traceability. The foundation employs 26 people and is led by President Alicia González Sanz.

The revenue model combines four streams: voluntary tax-deductible individual donations (deductible up to 80% under Spanish Law 49/2002), public grants and subsidies from regional governments (Junta de Castilla y León, Generalitat Valenciana, IMAS Murcia, Cantabria, Málaga, Salamanca) and the European Social Fund Plus (FSE+) 2021-2027 program, affiliation/membership fees, and proceeds from the Tienda Solidaria online solidarity store. Customer segments are primarily people with intellectual disabilities and other disabilities, individuals at risk of social exclusion (unemployed youth, women, over-45s), and beneficiaries of the Becas scholarship program open to the general adult population. Go-to-market is community-led via regional offices and partner referrals, supplemented by online self-serve platforms, social media, flagship events like the Mundialito por la Inclusión, and humanitarian emergency campaigns such as the current Venezuela earthquake relief effort.

• Plena Inclusión España: Confederation representing organizations serving people with intellectual disabilities in Spain. Direct peer — both organizations deliver SEPAP-equivalent personal autonomy services and operate in the same funding and policy ecosystem.
• Fundación ONCE: Spain's largest disability-focused foundation, delivering employment, training, and social-inclusion services nationwide. Directly comparable to AFIM's mission, target population, and service portfolio, but at materially larger scale.
• Fundación Adecco: Spanish foundation focused on employment integration for people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Directly comparable to AFIM's employment agency, vocational training, and social-labor insertion programs.

Broad incumbents

• Cáritas Española: Largest Catholic social-services organization in Spain, providing social assistance, training, and employment support across all regions. Overlaps with AFIM's social-services and employment-integration mission but at much larger scale and broader scope.

Regional players
