Fundación PROCLADE

What Fundación PROCLADE does

Fundación PROCLADE is a non-profit development cooperation foundation established in 1996 by the Claretian Missionaries (Missioneros Claretianos) and headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The foundation operates across four program lines: international development cooperation, humanitarian aid, social action within Spain, and education for development, with an additional fair-trade component. Its international operations span more than 20 countries across Latin America, Africa, and Europe, supported by 18 staff in Spain and a delivery network of 200+ volunteers and 1,600+ collaborators drawn from the broader Claretian ecosystem of parishes, schools, and delegations.

The foundation delivers programs through structured grant-funded projects, on-the-ground humanitarian interventions (including responses to the Ukraine conflict in 2022 and the Valencia DANA floods), and domestic social action initiatives such as the Espacio de Cuidados (Care Space) model first launched in Madrid in 2020 and replicated in Valencia. It also produces educational content including the audiovisual program "Viaje en Globo" and runs awareness and volunteer engagement campaigns in Spain. In 2025 it was recognized as a collaborating entity for migrant regularization, extending its domestic service offering.

PROCLADE's funding model relies on three revenue streams: institutional grants (principally AECID at the national level and Spanish regional governments), corporate and individual donations, and revenue from collaborating entities and fair-trade activities. The foundation opened its first internationally registered national entity, Proclade Schweiz, in Switzerland in May 2024, signaling a deliberate strategy to localize fundraising beyond Spain. AECID registration and 30 years of operating history provide regulatory and reputational positioning that supports continued institutional funder access.
