Càritas reaches donors through its website, social media, newsletter and earned media, and is funded by recurring membership donations, one‑time donations, Bizum, bank transfers, legacies and bequests, corporate social‑responsibility partnerships, and public subsidies. It does not sell products or services, and pricing is voluntary donation‑based rather than contract‑based. Primary source for operating scale:.

Direct peers

• Càritas Diocesana de Barcelona: Diocesan Càritas entity serving the Archdiocese of Barcelona. Operates the same Catholic-rooted social services model (food, housing, labour insertion, education) at a larger urban scale, making it the closest functional peer for comparison on funding mix, volunteer leverage, and programme outcomes.
• Càritas Diocesana de Madrid: Diocesan Càritas for the Archdiocese of Madrid. Provides an analogous suite of social programs under the same Càritas Española umbrella, useful as a benchmark for volunteer mobilisation, public-subsidy capture, and labour insertion KPIs in a different regional context.
• Creu Roja a Catalunya (Red Cross Catalonia): Catalan branch of the Spanish Red Cross, delivering emergency social assistance, refugee support, and community health programs across the same beneficiary pool. Comparable in service breadth and public-subsidy reliance but operates at much larger scale with a stronger professional-staff base.
• Fundació Arrels: Barcelona-based foundation specialising in homelessness and housing support for people living on the street. Direct overlap with Càritas's housing and homeless programs (including temporary apartments and long-term reintegration), serving a comparable Catalan beneficiary segment.
• Fundació Banc dels Aliments de Barcelona: Catalan food bank foundation distributing surplus food to charities including Càritas entities. Closely comparable on the food-aid service line, with similar volunteer-dependent operating model and reliance on donations and CSR partnerships.
• Fundació Sant Joan de Déu (Obra Social San Juan de Dios): Catholic-rooted nonprofit operating social and health programs for vulnerable populations across Catalonia and Spain. Comparable faith-based funding model, volunteer mobilisation, and focus on homelessness, mental health and social exclusion.

Broad incumbents

• Càritas Catalunya: Regional confederation of the 10 diocesan Càritas in Catalonia. Provides joint advocacy, fundraising, and data aggregation (€53M deployed / 86,128 households served in 2025) — the umbrella body of which Càritas Diocesana de Vic is a constituent member.
• Cáritas Española: National confederation of Càritas in Spain and the listed parent entity. Coordinates national campaigns, emergency response (e.g., Venezuela earthquake relief), and policy advocacy across all diocesan members.

Others

• Fundació FOESSA: Research and advocacy foundation studying social exclusion and poverty in Spain, supplying data that informs Càritas program design and public-policy campaigns. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct service competitor.
• Mossos d'Esquadra - Programa d'Atenció a les Víctimes (and similar municipal social services in Catalonia): Catalan public-sector social services infrastructure that both funds and partners with Càritas on emergency aid, documentation support, and protection programs. Represented here as a key ecosystem partner shaping Càritas's operating environment.
