Fundación Natalí Dafne Flexer

What Fundación Natalí Dafne Flexer does

Fundación Natalí Dafne Flexer is a private Argentine non-profit organization founded in 1994 by Edith Grynszpancholc in memory of her daughter Natalí, dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and young people with cancer and their families. It operates a Comprehensive Care Program (Programa de Atención Integral) that serves approximately 2,800 beneficiaries annually across seven or more provinces — Buenos Aires CABA (headquarters), Buenos Aires province (Hospital Posadas, Casa Cuna, Pichincha), Tucumán, Corrientes, Jujuy, Tierra del Fuego, and Chaco — delivered through hospital-embedded and community-based offices staffed by regional coordinators.

The foundation's core service portfolio comprises four direct-service pillars (Treatment Support, Psychological Support, Recreational-Educative programs, and Informational content including free downloadable books) plus three systemic pillars (Professional Training, Hospital Infrastructure and Equipment support, and Clinical/Psychosocial Research). It co-delivers a 9-month virtual Diplomado en Psicooncología Infanto-Juvenil with Universidad ISalud, participates as a partner in the EU Horizon 2020-funded CLOSER research consortium on pediatric leukemia across Latin America and Europe, and engages in advocacy around the national Ley de Oncopediatría (Law 27.674) and the Tucumán provincial law (No. 9294). Annual awareness and fundraising events include #PoneteLaCamiseta (since February 2002) and #TuVueltaVale (since 2026 edition achieved 11,352 laps).

The organization operates under a non-profit funding model in which all programs and services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. Revenue is sourced from individual donors, corporate partners, foundation grants, and institutional research funding (notably European Commission). It is governed by an Administrative Council with Edith Grynszpancholc as President, Monica Dubiansky as Vice President, Alan Gabriel Flexer as Pro Secretary, and Claudio Alberto Cardani as Treasurer. Financial statements and annual reports are publicly accessible but specific revenue figures are not disclosed in the available data.
