What Mundukide Fundazioa does

Mundukide Fundazioa is a non-profit cooperative development foundation registered in the Basque Country, Spain, headquartered in Arrasate (Mondragón) with regional offices in Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, and Orkoien. Founded in 1999, it delivers international cooperation programs by exporting the Mondragón cooperative experience to partner organisations in Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mozambique. Core activities span agricultural development, technical assistance for cooperatives, capacity building for southern partner associations, inter-cooperation and cooperative advice, and social transformation initiatives, with the GEHIKOOP pilot program covering inter-cooperative education. The foundation works with named strategic partners including MST in Brazil, UNORCAC and Toisán Corporation in Ecuador, and Entrepueblos, and it reports 110,000 beneficiaries across 40 partner associations in five countries, ranking 1st in Cooperative Advice. Mundukide has no proprietary technology products or commercial software; its operating model is service- and community-delivery rather than technology-led. Revenue comes from individual donations (fixed tiers of €10, €20, €30, €50 or custom), monthly membership contributions, institutional grants (notably AECID and KONFEKOOP's €20,000 grant in 2026), corporate CSR partnerships, and event-based fundraising through the annual Solidarity Race, with go-to-market executed via its website, social media channels, community events in the Basque Country, and earned-media coverage in outlets such as Brasil de Fato.
