RED ACOGE

What RED ACOGE does

RED ACOGE is a Spanish non-profit federation of social organizations founded in 1991, specializing in the accompaniment of migrant and refugee persons across Spain. The organization operates through a federated network of member organizations across 20 Spanish territories, providing direct services including legal advice, psychosocial care, reception shelter within the State Reception System (563 places), employment support, and voluntary return assistance. In its most recent reported period, RED ACOGE accompanied 47,277 people, delivered 198,982 total accompaniments, and ran employment programs that improved employability for 62% of 1,427 participants. Core programs are organized around three pillars: Accompaniment (reception, employment, voluntary return), Transformation (equality, non-discrimination, youth participation), and Strategic Alliances (advocacy and coalition-building).

The federation is staffed by 650 professionals and supported by 1,100 volunteers, and is governed by a six-member Board of Directors elected every four years under the presidency of Santiago González Avión. The business model is grant-funded rather than commercial: revenue streams include Spanish government grants (notably from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration), EU co-funding for programs such as voluntary return, and individual and corporate donations (including from Sacyr Foundation). The organization operates sub-brands — Inmigracionalismo, Red Acoge Mujeres, Empleo y Diversidad, and Sociedad Civil Pacto Mundial — to extend programmatic reach. RED ACOGE holds ISO 9001 and ISO 9241-210 certifications, Public Utility declaration status, and ONG Acreditada accreditation from Fundación Lealtad, and is currently co-developing a digital competency assessment tool based on the European ESCO Competency Model with Sacyr Foundation funding.

Regional players

• Migrant Help: UK-based charity providing advice, guidance, and support to asylum seekers and refugees; comparable in service mix (accommodation, asylum support, integration) but operates in a different national welfare and policy context than Spain.

Broad incumbents

• Cruz Roja Española (Spanish Red Cross): Major humanitarian organization operating across Spain with established programs for refugees, migrants, and vulnerable populations; comparable mission (accompaniment, integration) but much broader scope (health, emergencies, education).
• Save the Children Spain: Major international NGO with Spanish operations focused on children's rights, including migrant and refugee minors; co-signatory with RED ACOGE on Migration Pact statements and overlapping on child-protection aspects of reception services.
• UNHCR Spain (ACNUR): UN Refugee Agency's Spanish operation that funds and partners with NGOs (including RED ACOGE) on reception and integration; indirectly comparable as a system-level actor overseeing much of RED ACOGE's international protection work.
• Cáritas Española: Spain's largest Catholic social services confederation; addresses migrant and refugee needs alongside broader poverty, housing, and family support. A coalition partner on Migration Pact statements and significantly larger in scale than RED ACOGE.

Direct peers

• ACCEM: Spanish non-profit specializing in migration, asylum, and refugee support; directly comparable in service offering (reception, accompaniment, employment), territorial footprint across Spain, and joint participation in mental health jornadas with RED ACOGE in the State Reception System.
• Fundación Cepaim: Spanish NGO focused on migrant and refugee integration with multi-regional service delivery; comparable in operating model (accompaniment, employment programs) and target population, overlapping with RED ACOGE in several Spanish territories.
• CEAR - Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado: Spanish NGO focused on refugee and asylum-seeker support; directly competes with RED ACOGE in delivering State Reception System services, legal accompaniment, and international protection programs in Spain, and is a fellow coalition partner on Migration Pact advocacy.
• Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Spain: International Jesuit organization with Spanish operations providing accompaniment, legal support, and psychosocial care to refugees and forced migrants; overlaps with RED ACOGE's core Acompañamiento program and pursues similar advocacy on asylum rights.

Emerging players

• Provivienda: Spanish non-profit focused on housing access for vulnerable groups including migrants and refugees; complementary to RED ACOGE's reception services with specific focus on the housing pillar of integration - adjacent competitor for migrant accommodation contracts.
