Hi, I am enquiring if anyone here has set up a Foundation in Spain? I have been tasked with finding out the process to start one up.  It will be a water based sport foundation in the public benefit and of course not for profit.  The other people involved are mainly Spanish and well connected in the sport concerned. My mother, who sadly passed away over a year ago, brought breast cancer survivor(BCS) dragon boat participation to Spain with the help of these people, this has progressed to 7 BCS Dragon boat teams in Spain and to a growing international tournament here in Spain now named as her memorial event. This year it has progressed to a new catogory, All Cancer Survivor(ACS) Dragon Boat Team launches - 3 teams already and counting. So the next step is to take this further into more community teams / catogories  and opening up what is a proven physically beneficial participation sport for these groups and the support network the team brings to all involved in each team both participants and supporters. We will be working with the Spanish Dragon Boat Fed so the sport side is covered. I want to give something back on behalf of my family to the Country working with the amazing Spanish people I have met and agreed to take on this task of finding out about not just the process but also the mechanics and any lessons learnt. Anyone who has set one up or experience of Foundations here in Spain on here it would be great to hear from you. kind Regards David

I think you would be best to consult an abogado. The rules and laws affecting charities of any kind here, foundations, and so on are very different to those in UK. It will be possible, but you do need serious professional help.

Thanks Stephanie, we would definitely be using an Abogado to enable it, it was more if anyone had any experience of setting up one, timescales etc and any pitfalls etc to look out for and lessons learned in running one. You are quite right in my time I spend here it is certainly the case things are very different, anything like this will definitely need a solicitor setting up due to its status. The Spanish involved have already done so much it would just be nice to have a bit more research done and information than say 'the Abogado will do it" things to look out for along the journey etc, feel like I am making a contribution :) thanks for taking the time to respond it is much appreciated
