Professional Services for the Third Sector & Foundations

We help organizations that need to turn their resources into a positive impact on society.

Foundations, associations and entities of the Third Sector carry out their activities with a particular responsibility for the management of their resources and the fulfilment of their purposes. Public and private financing, tax and labour obligations, transparency or the need to accredit the destination of the funds coexist, in addition, with structures that must be efficient in order to devote the maximum possible effort to their mission.

Afianza accompanies these organizations by providing financial, fiscal, legal and managerial capacities. We work together with employers, governing bodies and management teams to strengthen their structures, respond to their obligations and address growth and transformation projects without losing sight of what gives meaning to the organization.

We work alongside organizations with different models and objectives

Our main services for the Third Sector

Financial audit

The trust of financiers, governing bodies and other interest groups requires reliable and transparent financial information. Afianza provides audit services to Third Sector entities and foundations, providing an independent review of their financial statements and contributing to strengthening the quality of information and accountability mechanisms.

Grants and public funding

Grants and grants are a relevant source of funding for many organisations and are associated with specific obligations during their execution and justification. Afianza accompanies entities on issues related to grants and public funds, helping them to strengthen the monitoring of resources received and the fulfilment of associated requirements.

Tax law

The absence of profit motive does not eliminate the tax obligations and tax particularities associated with the activities carried out by each entity. Afianza provides tax advice to foundations and organizations of the Third Sector, analyzing their situation and the tax implications arising from their activity, financing and operations.

People are one of the main resources of many social organizations and foundations. Afianza advises on labor issues related to the management of teams and labor relations, providing specialized support to respond to the obligations of the entity and the different situations that may arise during its activity.

Regulatory compliance

The diversity of activities, sources of funding and relationships with third parties makes it necessary to have mechanisms to properly identify and manage the obligations of each organization. Afianza accompanies entities in the area of regulatory compliance, helping them to develop prevention and control frameworks adapted to their characteristics and risks.

ESG / Sustainability (CSRD)

Third Sector organisations usually work on social, environmental or governance dimensions that are part of their own raison d'être. Afianza accompanies them in structuring and managing sustainability and ESG issues, facilitating an orderly approach to information, processes and new requirements in this area.

Frequently asked questions about the sector

The needs depend on the size, activity and funding model of each organization, but it is particularly important to have reliable financial information, adequate control mechanisms, sound fiscal and labour management and procedures to meet their compliance obligations.To jointly review these dimensions helps to identify risks and improve the management capacity of the entity.

The receipt of public funding may involve specific requirements regarding the destination of funds, the execution of actions, their follow-up and subsequent justification. It is important to know these conditions from the outset and to have information and procedures that will allow the proper accreditation of the use of resources throughout the project.

These organizations manage resources for specific purposes and can be accountable to funders, donors, administrations, governing bodies and other interest groups.
