Fundación Amanoz

What Fundación Amanoz does

Fundación Amanoz (legal name: Fundación Juan Carlos Kantor) is a Chilean non-profit foundation headquartered in Santiago, founded in 2000 by Patricia Pupkin Ratinoff to combat loneliness and social isolation among elderly people aged 60 and over. The foundation operates four core programs: ATM (telephone-based companionship), Domicilios (in-home visits), Voluntariado Corporativo (corporate volunteering partnerships), and Programas de Fomento de la Inclusión (socio-educational inclusion initiatives). Service delivery is entirely human-centered, with no proprietary technology platform; the operating model pairs trained volunteers with elderly beneficiaries for regular contact and accompaniment. The foundation is supported by 450+ volunteers and a small staff of 11-50 employees, reaching 500+ elderly beneficiaries.

The foundation's business model is a donation-and-grant-funded non-profit structure. Revenue is assembled from individual donations, corporate sponsorships (including named partners Scotiabank Chile and Banco de Chile), and public funding from Chilean government agencies such as SENAMA (National Service for the Elderly) and SENADIS. Institutional credibility is reinforced by the #ScotiaINSPIRA 2025 award and the FECU Social diploma, and the foundation has extended its institutional footprint through a seat on a parliamentary bench and the COS ethics commission as of May 2026.

The foundation's expansion strategy centers on broadening programmatic surface and institutional influence. A new program, Vincula + Edades, is scheduled to launch in July 2026. The foundation operates in a single geography (Chile) with no disclosed international expansion, and maintains multi-stakeholder relationships across corporate, government, and civil society sectors that function as both funding channels and distribution partners for volunteer engagement.
