Fundación Senara

What Fundación Senara does

Fundación Senara is a Spanish non-profit foundation established in 1997 and headquartered in Madrid, operating two community sites in the Moratalaz and Usera districts plus an embedded educational unit, Colegio Senara. The foundation delivers a portfolio of social programs targeted at people in vulnerable situations across five verticals: social and labor insertion (UTIL, FORMIN, Incorpora), childhood development (Conecta2, Crecer Contigo, Aprender Juntos), women and family support (EmpleaMujer+, Sponsor a Family), elderly care and accessibility, and youth programs including European mobility initiatives (E-Inclusion, What's about Europe?, Oratory for Leadership Adventure) financed through Erasmus+.

The foundation does not operate a technology platform; its infrastructure consists of in-person service delivery, embedded classrooms in public schools (CEIP República de Venezuela, CEIP Menéndez Pidal), and a WordPress-based website with Google Analytics and donation forms. It is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and has reported serving 27,738 cumulative beneficiaries, training 8,437 people, assisting 1,943 children, and mobilizing 1,822 volunteers over its operating history.

Fundación Senara's revenue model is that of a charitable foundation: a mix of individual donations (one-time or recurring via direct debit, bank transfer, card, or Bizum, with Spanish tax-deduction benefits of 80%/40% for individuals and 40%/50% for corporates), public grants (Comunidad de Madrid IRPF call, European Social Fund, Ministerio de Inclusión, Asylum Migration and Integration Funds), corporate foundation grants (Fundación Inocente Inocente, Fundación Botín), employer partnerships (Obra Social 'la Caixa' Incorpora program, Cabify/Vecctor), and prize/competition funding (Leroy Merlin, Banco Santander). Go-to-market is community-led: outreach via volunteer networks, public-school channels, social services referrals, and partnerships with employers for labor insertion.

Others
