Fundación Redes Solidarias

What Fundación Redes Solidarias does

Fundación Redes Solidarias is an Argentine nonprofit foundation founded in 1996 and headquartered in Buenos Aires (Posadas 1120), with operational reach into the Alto Pilcomayo region of Santa Victoria Este, Province of Salta. It supports geographically isolated indigenous communities along the Pilcomayo River — primarily La Estrella, with secondary work in La Curvita, La Bolsa, Km 2, La Gracia, and Pozo de la Yegua — addressing educational infrastructure, food security, housing, productive agriculture, and cultural preservation. The organization is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors led by President and Executive Director Marcela Mayol de Miguens, with approximately 10 permanent volunteers running daily operations and a cumulative alumni of 85 volunteers who have traveled to communities through the Manos Solidarias program; no staff are compensated.

The foundation's product portfolio spans seven named programs: the Alfabetización en Informática (Computer Literacy Program) covering 5 schools and 389 students with the Ministry of Education of Salta; the Programa de Escuelas de Excelencia for school infrastructure; the Programa de Becas (scholarships at 5,000 ARS/year per child); Proyectos Productivos (community gardens, smoked paprika production, carob flour, Wichi art workshops); Campañas Humanitarias for emergency flood relief; the Manos Solidarias volunteer program; and the Primera Bienal de Arte Indígena, a regional cultural platform launched in 2025. Underlying technology is minimal: a WordPress website, a Facebook group, and email/WhatsApp contact channels — there is no proprietary platform, no app, and no AI/ML capability. Delivery relies on direct volunteer travel to communities (approximately 2,000 km from Buenos Aires) and on the Ministry of Education partnership for in-school program execution.

Revenue is entirely donation-based, sourced from individual bank transfers to a Banco Nación account (CUIT 30-68733292-6) and corporate social-responsibility partnerships — including Banco Nación, Operación Canasta, Siegwerk Argentina, Millanel, Banco Piano, Junior Achievement, and Fundación Siwok — plus international-endorsement-mediated diaspora giving through Help Argentina. The foundation carries no equity, has no subsidiaries, and reports financials via memoria y balance documents from 2006 onward. Notable operational milestones include 80+ trips to La Estrella, 25 houses built in 2019, 30-family post-flood autoconstruction in 2019, and the 2008 Slow Food International award for pimentón production.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Ashoka: Global organization supporting leading social entrepreneurs and community-driven solutions. Comparable through its focus on long-term social impact and community change agents, though operates at a much larger scale and funds rather than operates programs.
• Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina: Argentine conservation NGO (WWF partner) working on environmental protection and indigenous community partnerships. Comparable in nonprofit structure, Argentine focus, and indigenous community engagement, but with a stronger environmental/conservation emphasis vs. Redes Solidarias' broader humanitarian portfolio.
• Fundación Mundo Sano: Argentine foundation focused on health access for vulnerable communities, including indigenous populations. Comparable as an Argentine corporate-affiliated nonprofit providing direct services to underserved groups, with a different functional focus (health vs. education/housing).
• Fundación Carlos Slim: Major Latin American foundation funding education, health, and community development. Comparable as a Latin American nonprofit funder for indigenous communities, but operating at a vastly larger scale with multiple programmatic verticals.

Direct peers

• TECHO: Latin American nonprofit that mobilizes volunteers to build transitional housing and infrastructure in marginalized communities. Highly comparable to Redes Solidarias on volunteer-driven model, community-led construction, and Latin American geographic focus, though TECHO operates across many countries and urban informal settlements.
• Junior Achievement Argentina: Argentine branch of Junior Achievement that delivers education and entrepreneurship programs to youth. Comparable as an already-named partner delivering educational credentials to Redes Solidarias' beneficiaries, with similar reliance on volunteer networks.
• Help Argentina: Argentine nonprofit platform that aggregates and vets smaller NGOs and provides international endorsement (Aval Internacional). Already a partner of Redes Solidarias; comparable as a nonprofit intermediary serving the Argentine donor ecosystem.

Others

• GlobalGiving: Global crowdfunding platform for nonprofits including those serving indigenous communities. Comparable as a fundraising and donor-discovery channel that small foundations like Redes Solidarias can leverage to internationalize donations.

Regional players

• Conservation Land Trust Argentina: Argentine nonprofit of the Tompkins Conservation network focused on land conservation and indigenous community partnerships in Patagonia. Comparable in the wildlife/community intersection and Argentine NGO landscape, though geographically distinct.
• Fundación Temaikèn: Argentine foundation focused on biodiversity conservation, environmental education, and indigenous community engagement. Comparable as an Argentine nonprofit with educational and community programs, though it operates more through a zoo/biopark model.
