Fundación Vivofácil

What Fundación Vivofácil does

Fundación Vivofácil is a Spanish non-profit foundation (registered in the Registro de Fundaciones, Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs) founded in 2005/2006 and headquartered in Madrid, operating as a social services platform rather than a technology company. Originally established as Fundación Alares and rebranded in 2021, it delivers a portfolio of programs across three core verticals: work-life balance and co-responsibility (Conciliación y Corresponsabilidad), labor integration of people with disabilities (Discapacidad y Empleo, including a registered placement agency), and elderly care and unwanted-loneliness prevention (Dependencia y Mayores, anchored by the 24/7 Ilumina una Vida telephone helpline 900 877 037). The foundation has sensitized over 76,000 professionals and 1,500 companies on labor inclusion, delivered 7,230 hours of in-person accompaniment in 2023, and handled 16,000+ helpline calls during the COVID-19 pandemic alone.

The foundation monetizes its mission through three revenue streams: corporate CSR programs (the Sello de Empresa Socialmente Responsable certification co-issued with Fundación Diversidad, bespoke corporate volunteering, and training), the annual Premios Nacionales Vivofácil awards (XX edition, 2026, held under the Honorary Presidency of the King and Queen of Spain with 600+ attendees, generating sponsorship and participation fees), and donations/social bonds from individuals and corporate donors. It serves four primary customer segments: companies and employers (Dentsu, knowmad mood, Sapiens, ILUNION Hotels, Galletas Gullón among named clients), public institutions (Guardia Civil, Ayuntamiento de Boadilla del Monte, Ayuntamiento de Jaén), persons with disabilities, and elderly/at-risk individuals. Distribution is conducted through direct enterprise sales, the national helpline, an annual awards gala, and documentary-based awareness campaigns (notably La Sociedad de la Soledad, produced with Palamont Pictures and premiered at the Congress of Deputies). The foundation operates as part of Grupo Vivofácil alongside Vivofácil S.L., Alares Human Services S.A., and Vivofácil CEE S.A., and is governed by a Board of Trustees led by President Cipri Quintas, Founder/Honorary President Javier Benavente Barrón, and Director General Mar Aguilera.
