Fundació Maria Raventós

Long-term support for young women and mothers

Fundació Maria Raventós is a Barcelona-based social-services organization that has welcomed and supported young women and mothers facing vulnerability or social exclusion for 75 years. Its long-term, comprehensive approach addresses basic needs while helping participants build emotional stability, relationships, and personal and professional skills that support independent living.

Programs and services

The foundation organizes its work into programs tailored to each young woman's circumstances and level of need:

• Maternal residence
• Supportive housing
• Community spaces: Espai Banús in Santa Coloma de Gramenet and Espai La Trena in Barcelona
• Espai Familiar La Branca
• Espai de Salut i Benestar Emocional
• Social mentoring
• SIS Gràcia

History

The foundation takes its name from Maria Raventós Fatjó (1897–1951), an enterprising and generous woman who devoted her life to helping others. It marks 75 years of offering shelter, guidance, and support for women's empowerment, and recently opened a new headquarters.

How to get involved

The foundation welcomes support through donations, charitable initiatives with businesses and organizations, inheritances and bequests, and its volunteer program. It also offers a contact channel for people interested in working with the organization.
