Fundación Alimerka focuses on improving quality of life for vulnerable groups through food access, health-related support, and social inclusion, with a strong footprint in Asturias and nearby regions where Alimerka operates. Its funding mix combines annual open calls for nonprofits, in-kind food support to social dining centers, and small operational reimbursements for organizations that buy food from Alimerka. The foundation also backs health research and selective international cooperation projects, especially where nutrition, disability, or patient well-being are central.
Mix of annual competitive calls, in-kind food donations, and a 5% purchase rebate program for eligible nonprofits. Grants are generally small to modest in size—often up to about €5,000 per project for local nonprofit initiatives—with limited awards per cycle and edition-specific deadlines published in the call rules.

Watch for edition-specific annual calls and short application windows, especially for the nonprofit project grant and food assistance programs. Eligibility is geographically constrained to Asturias, Castilla y León, and nearby areas where Alimerka operates, and proposals do best when they clearly connect to food access, disability, health, or vulnerable populations. For the rebate program, eligible organizations should document annual Alimerka food purchases carefully to claim the 5% return.
