Fundación JuanSoñador

What Fundación JuanSoñador does

Fundación JuanSoñador is a private non-profit foundation registered in León, Spain on 19 September 2002 (Registry number 289) and operating as a Salesian social initiative. It delivers prevention, education, and integral social promotion services to people at risk of or experiencing social exclusion, with a particular focus on vulnerable children, youth, families, unemployed adults, and migrants/refugees. The foundation organizes its work across five intervention areas — Socio-educational (Área Socioeducativa), Employment (Área de Empleo), Community (Área Comunitaria), Residential (Área Residencial), and Training & Awareness (Formación y Sensibilización) — supplemented by Volunteering (Voluntariado), the Teranga migrant integration program, and international development cooperation (Cooperación al Desarrollo). It applies the Don Bosco Preventive System, characterized by familiarity, trust, and joy, as its pedagogical framework.

The foundation operates across 8 locations in Galicia, Asturias, and Castilla y León (León, A Coruña, Burgos, Lugo, Ourense, Valladolid, Vigo, Villamuriel) and is part of the Plataformas Sociales Salesianas network, which collectively manages 91 shelter places for refugees and migrants across Spain. It is supported by a paid workforce of 107 employees and a volunteer base (e.g., 50+ in Vigo active over 17 years, 30 weekly participants in Lugo). There is no proprietary technology platform; digital infrastructure is limited to a content website, social media channels, and online donation/membership enrollment via PayPal and Bizum.

The revenue model combines three streams: one-time and recurring donations from individuals, recurring membership contributions (monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, four-monthly, six-monthly, or annual), and grants/subsidies from public institutions including the CaixaProInfancia program (CaixaBank) and the Xunta de Galicia. Donations are tax-deductible (up to 10% of taxable income for individuals, 15% for corporations). Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Core strategic partners include CaixaBank, Xunta de Galicia, Banco Mediolanum, the Salesian Social Platforms network, and Servicio Civil Italiano for international volunteer hosting.

Broad incumbents

• Fundación Secretariado Gitano: Spain's leading foundation for Roma community social inclusion; comparable as a non-profit foundation providing employment training, education, and social intervention across Spain, with similar mix of EU, public, and private funding.
• Cáritas Española: Spain's largest Catholic charitable organization; directly comparable in that it operates social-assistance, employment, migration, and family-support programs across Spain, often with a more national footprint and broader donor base.
• Save the Children España: International NGO's Spanish affiliate; comparable in that it runs programs for vulnerable children and families, including education support and youth employment, funded through donations, membership, and partnerships across Spain.
• Cruz Roja Española: Spain's Red Cross society; materially comparable as a non-profit providing social assistance, refugee support, employment programs, and community integration across multiple Spanish regions, with similarly diversified funding from donations, members, and government grants.
• Fundación ONCE: Large Spanish disability-focused foundation; comparable as a private foundation operating employment, training, and social-inclusion programs with a multi-channel funding model (donations, grants, corporate partnerships).

Direct peers

• Accem: Spanish NGO focused on refugee, migrant, and vulnerable-population support; comparable in service mix (shelter, employment, language training, legal aid) and target beneficiaries, operating across multiple Spanish regions.
• Fundación Adsis: Spanish non-profit foundation providing socio-educational, employment, and migration programs for vulnerable populations; directly comparable in service mix, beneficiary segments, and multi-region Spanish footprint.
• CEAR (Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado): Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid; specializes in refugee and migrant reception, legal assistance, and social integration — directly overlapping with Fundación JuanSoñador's Teranga program for international protection beneficiaries.

Others

It is comparable as a sibling organization in the same Salesian mission and a referral partner for shelter and migration services.
