Teaming Foundation

The Teaming Foundation was founded at the end of 2011 with a mission: fostering solidarity through technology. In keeping with this aim, teaming.net was launched in January 2012. The platform allows anybody to support social causes through micro-donations of 1€ per month. We want solidarity to be accessible to all and to be completely disintermediated, as every euro donated goes to the social cause. From 2016 onwards, we have also organized the Teaming Awards, which aim to reward marketing campaigns of solidarity and the effort made by social entities to raise awareness and empathy.

The Teaming Foundation is chaired by Francisco Roman. The company NTT DAT and Pedro Nueno Iniesta hold the vice-presidencies. Eugenio Galdón, Antonio González-Barros, Rocío Martínez-Sampere, María Jesús Villa, David Pereira, Ángel David López, Ignasi Fainé, Rodrigo, Miranda, Itziar de Francisco and Xavier Oliver Conti. complete the board of trustees. The non-trustee secretary of the Teaming Foundation is Albert Trias de Bes. Patricia Sánchez Delicado is the director.

How is Teaming Foundation funded?

Teaming is completely free. We don’t get any profit from the money raised through the platform, all the funds raised are destined to the social causes. And Teaming is funded by the donations from the companies of companies of our Board, the sponsors of "Here We are Teaming" and because of our own Teaming Group. And because of this Teaming Group, our dream of being self-sufficient will be possible.

Furthermore, we have an ethical commitment in the management of resources: low cost of the organisation and an austere expenditure policy.
