About me

The SIFU Group Foundation, with more than 15 years of experience, was born from the SIFU Group's experience in job placement with more than 9.500 Emloyees, 5.000 persons with disability.

Its objective is to promote and encourage not only the labor insertion of people with disabilities and with special insertion difficulties, but also their social integration in other areas.

For this reason, it promotes the most important inclusive artistic project in Europe: the Gala más In, which brings dozens of artists, with and without disabilities, to the most emblematic stages of the country every year.

The SIFU Group Foundation also awards the Superarte scholarships every year, aimed at training and development in music and dance for people with disabilities.
