B-Value, transform you social organization

Third Sector Accelerator

B-Value is the program that promotes the transformation of the social sector through innovation. Aimed at leaders of the third sector who work in non-profit organisations based in Spain, it is now in its 9th edition and seeks to help develop projects from a strategic vision, design new models of income generation, professionalise the value proposal and move away from traditional philanthropic schemes.

The B-Value program is promoted by Ship2B Foundation and Fundación Banco Sabadell and has the support of Fundación Juan Entrecanales de Azcárate. Also, Sabadell Seguros, Fundación PwC, Fundación ONCE, Fundación Joaquim Molins Figueras and After form part of the programme as strategic partners, and Fundación Hazloposible, Asociación Española de Fundaciones, Salto con Red and Coordinadora Catalana de Fundacions as collaborating entities.

We are looking for entities:

Non-profit based in Spain (associations, foundations, special non-profit employment centers, insertion companies, social initiative cooperatives)
That serve any vulnerable group and from any field of action (with socio-labour inclusion, accessibility or care for families as priority lines)
Who have a preliminary idea of the innovative project that they want to work on, or an ongoing project that they want to rethink through social innovation processes
That they can dedicate time to a small leading team for whom the project presented is a strategic line of work during the year
Whose management explicitly supports the project and team
