FOESSA is a research-focused social foundation affiliated with Cáritas Española that funds and publishes applied studies on Spain’s social reality, with a strong emphasis on exclusion, inequality, and social structure. It typically supports sociological and social-science research projects or finished studies that use primary data and can be turned into reports or publications, often with a clear public-interest or policy-relevance angle. Its work is especially oriented toward understanding vulnerability, territorial differences, and the lived experience of people affected by social exclusion.
Annual конкурс-style awards rather than open-ended grants; FOESSA offers competitive calls for either completed research (publication/premio) or research projects to be developed into reports, with support focused on publication and/or modest research funding. Awards are Spain-focused, appear to be deadline-based, and are likely selective and program-specific rather than broad, unsolicited philanthropy.

Watch the FOESSA website for the annual call dates, since one program is announced as an upcoming 2026 edition and the project competition is deadline-driven. Applicants should align proposals tightly with FOESSA’s themes—exclusion, inequality, social structure, and applied sociological research—use primary data, and be prepared for a Spanish-language, Spain-based competition that values work suitable for publication or report development.
