Letter from the Chair

Dear friends,

Once again, Fundación Renta Corporación presents its activities in a world profoundly shaped by armed conflicts, forced displacement and climate change, which exacerbates poverty and insecurity for millions of people. The Goalkeepers Report 2025 published by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation warns that, for the first time this century, child mortality will rise again: it is estimated that in 2025, 4.8 million children under the age of five will die from preventable causes, more than 200,000 more than in the previous year. This reality reminds us that even organisations operating at a local level must see themselves as an active part of a global response to injustice and suffering.

Our country is not immune to these challenges. Despite the progress achieved, millions of people in Spain remain at risk of poverty and social exclusion, facing difficulties in accessing decent housing and genuine opportunities for advancement, particularly children and young people. Housing has today become one of the main concerns of citizens, and its situation continues to deteriorate day by day. Unless effective, consensual measures grounded in expert knowledge are adopted, this issue will continue to have a very serious impact on social cohesion.

In this context, Fundación Renta Corporación works to offer concrete opportunities to people living in situations of greater vulnerability, focusing its action on social assistance, education and healthcare, always in close collaboration with social organisations with a strong track record and commitment. Over the course of this year, the Fundación has collaborated with 73 organisations, 13 of which were proposed directly by the Renta Corporación team, thereby strengthening the link between business activity and a shared social commitment. Ashoka, Fundación Ricardo Fisas, África Digna, Nasco Feeding Minds and Fundación Elena Barraquer have been among our main commitments in 2025. Nevertheless, we also wish to acknowledge all the remaining organisations, which, despite operating with limited budgets, carry out equally commendable work.

Spain has an extraordinary social fabric, made up of organisations and individuals who, often quietly, sustain support networks and develop innovative inclusion projects. In line with this reality, 40 per cent of the Fundación’s funding has been allocated to social assistance projects, 21 per cent to education and 19 per cent to healthcare, reflecting our priority of addressing the most basic needs while at the same time creating opportunities for the future. Our commitment is to continue contributing to the strengthening of this social capital, convinced that only through collaboration and shared responsibility will we be able to successfully address the major challenges of our time.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Board of Trustees, to the organisations with which we collaborate and, very especially, to the Renta Corporación team, whose commitment and daily work make this endeavour possible. Thanks to their support, Fundación Renta Corporación turns challenges into opportunities and generates a real impact on the lives of many people.

Yours sincerely,
