What Fundació Marianao does

Fundació Marianao is a private non-profit foundation (Fundació Privada) founded in 1985 and headquartered in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia. Operating for 40 years as of 2025, the foundation serves vulnerable populations in the Marianao neighborhood and broader Baix Llobregat area through four programmatic pillars: Infància i Famílies (childhood and family support including Espai Familiar, Casal Infantil i Juvenil, summer camps, and scholarships), Escola de Noves Oportunitats (a School of New Opportunities for youth aged 16–25 who have dropped out of formal education, including a Shared Schooling Unit, Vocational Training Initiatives in IT and office administration, and Aula Taller), Inclusió Social (employment assistance, legal services, mental health support, and addiction recovery), and Participació i Comunitat (community participation programs such as Vente Pa'Ká, Esfera Jove, Punt Òmnia digital inclusion, Col·lectiu Suma women's empowerment, Horts de Can Pinyol community gardens, and El Sarau community space). The foundation's Marianao Té Cor initiative is a multilateral alliance co-promoted with public administrations (Generalitat de Catalunya, Diputació de Barcelona, Consell Comarcal del Baix Llobregat, Ajuntament de Sant Boi) and Fundació 'la Caixa'.

The foundation operates with 60 employees and 130 volunteers, reaching 3,000+ participants across 35+ social projects. There is no proprietary technology platform; services are delivered primarily in person at physical locations in Sant Boi de Llobregat, including the headquarters at Plaça Joan N. García Nieto, a secondary office on Carrer Girona, and the Casas Comunitarias on Carrer de Miquel. The business model is non-profit and diversified across three revenue streams: individual donations and memberships (socis) at suggested tiers of €5 to €600 per month, corporate CSR partnerships with approximately 20 named companies (including Ciments Molins, Decathlon, Panet, Uriach, Leroy Merlin, Consum, Fundació 'la Caixa', and CaixaBank), and fee-based consulting services to public administrations and social entities across Catalonia covering community action mapping, local inclusion plans, and youth participation policies. Programs are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries and funded through this mix of donations, corporate sponsorships, and public grants.
