Kukumiku Foundation
We are not a corporation. We are a foundation.
Kukumiku is the platform of Fundación Kukumiku, a non-profit organization established to help charitable projects gain visibility and raise funds online. No profits: everything is reinvested into the common good.
- 2016 year the platform was born
- +1.000 campaigns supported
- +3 M€ raised for causes
- 0 € in dividends, ever
Volunteers with a shared project
We came together as people with experience in international cooperation, solidarity, and digital marketing. From that union, in 2016, came a self-managed charity crowdfunding platform so that organizations, individuals, and groups could spread their causes and raise funds.
Since then, we have helped hundreds of people and communities fulfill their dreams or overcome the obstacles, big or small, that life puts in front of them. That is our mission, and we want to keep going with it.
We see it every day: together we are stronger, and small steps can improve the lives of many people.

A little more personal information
What we do, how, why, and who we are. No fine print.
What we do
We dedicate our time and experience in the charitable sector to making things easier for those driving an initiative. We put online tools and technology within their reach to make fundraising simpler.
No ideals without money, and no money without ideals.
- If someone has a worthwhile project, they should be able to make it happen.
- If someone is willing to help, they should know where it’s worth doing so.
How we do it
On a volunteer basis. Yes, you read that right.
Everyday people in jeans and t-shirts who spend their free time helping the best way they know how.
Is there anything extraordinary about us?
No. Maybe that’s why they say we’re special.

- Mega-offices
- Ping-pong tables

Why we do it
We believe in human rights, social justice, and equal opportunity.
In an ideal world
There would be no need to work toward these goals.
In a less ideal one
It would be enough for the public sector to do the work.
In the real world
We have to roll up our sleeves and pitch in from the private sector, too.
Starting with ourselves.
Who we are
Kukumiku is made up of friends who share several things in common.
-
We like getting out of our comfort zone, whatever that means.
-
We’ve experienced realities that changed our perspective. Sometimes in another country; other times, right on our doorstep.
-
We want to take action to change those realities.
