Fundación Gizaide

What Fundación Gizaide does

Fundación Gizaide is a Spanish non-profit foundation (CIF G-20615795) headquartered in Donostia (San Sebastián), Gipuzkoa, Basque Country. Founded in 1997 by Siervas de María de Anglet, Cáritas Diocesana de San Sebastián, and Salesianos, it was established to deliver education, recovery, and social insertion services to people at high risk of social marginalization. The foundation now focuses on two primary populations: adults with severe mental illness (Trastorno Mental Grave) and young people who have not completed compulsory secondary education (ESO). It does not operate as a technology company; its core competency is the delivery of in-person psychosocial and rehabilitative services through a coordinated portfolio.

The service portfolio comprises three tiers of supported housing (high supervision at Hogar Ategorrieta for women with mental illness, 13 places; medium supervision at Piso Tutelado Andoain, 4 places; low supervision, 5 places), a psychosocial rehabilitation day center (Centro de Día, 22 places for adults over 18), and a vocational training program (Taller María Auxiliadora, 2,000 hours over two academic years) delivered in partnership with Salesianos Donostia. Each service operates on a Plan Individual methodology with multidisciplinary professional teams and is geographically concentrated in Donostia and Andoain.

The revenue model is dominated by public subsidies (85% of funding), with the remaining 15% from participant contributions and the foundation's own contributions. The principal institutional counterpart is the Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa, supplemented by collaborative network relationships with SARGI, HEDATZEN, and Emakunde. The foundation holds no patents, has not raised external funding, and operates as an independent entity under the umbrella of its three founding organizations. Leadership comprises Director Onintza Lasa Arteaga and President Kontxi Elexpe Aginaga; the organization employs approximately 10 people and is GDPR-compliant under Spanish data protection law.
