Fundació Junts Autisme

What Fundació Junts Autisme does

Fundació Junts Autisme is a non-profit foundation registered in Catalonia (Foundations Registry Number 3013, NIF G65463366), headquartered in Arenys de Mar, Barcelona, Spain, with a trajectory of more than 14 years and operations across three locations in the Maresme region. It delivers specialized autism services across the full life cycle, organized into eight core service lines: diagnosis (using ADOS-2 and ADI-R), psychoeducational intervention (using the TEACCH approach), sensory integration, adult life programs (EVI Project and Vivim Junts), personal assistance, family support, leisure activities, and professional training. The foundation works with a 360-degree model, coordinating with schools (including Escola Pia Santa Anna), hospitals, local businesses, and leisure venues to deliver individualized interventions, and applies the principles of the LIONDAU law and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The foundation employs 18 staff per firmographic data, with the organization itself claiming a team of more than 40 professionals and more than 100 volunteers. It reports having helped more than 1,000 families and trained more than 500 professionals throughout its history. Its revenue model is diversified across six streams: annual membership fees (€80/year or €20 quarterly), individual donations with Spanish tax deductibility, corporate sponsorships and CSR partnerships, family co-payments on a sliding scale, sales of solidarity products (€19.50/kg cakes, crafts, lottery, Sant Jordi roses), and institutional grants (including from Fundació la Caixa). The foundation is led by Director Neus Payerol Gràcia, who also serves as President of the Federació Catalana d'Autisme.

Operationally, the foundation's strategic focus is on capacity expansion and inclusion, anchored by the Stella Maris rehabilitation project (a residential and occupational center under development in Arenys de Mar), the EVI vocational inclusion program (delivered through partner employers El Obrador Bakery and Restaurant Blau de Mar), and the cross-border INTERREG POCTEFA TEA PIR project. Long-term corporate supporters such as Vinyals i Soler (five consecutive years of significant contributions) and technology partners such as Samsung (UNFEAR app) provide multi-year stability. Distribution is direct through foundation-operated sites and partner schools and businesses, with go-to-market driven by community-led engagement, family testimonials, and regional media coverage rather than paid acquisition.
