Innovation and good practices in the Spanish Association of Foundations

The case of AEF

AEF, the Spanish Association of Foundations, is a private organization which brings together more than 900 Spanish foundations in a variety of fields. It is the leading entity of its sector from Spain and the second-largest in Europe.

The primary objective of AEF is to represent and defend the interests of foundations, while also enhancing their professionalism and management. Transparency, innovation and good governance are their main values and they achieve their goals with those in hand.

AEF constantly consults its organizations on key decisions. Additionally, they regularly hold General Assemblies, where they choose their Board of Directors, review budgets or discuss some important issues which concern them.

Hybrid AGMs are now easier

Given the large size of the organization, both in terms of members and geographical reach– as it encompasses foundations from different regions of Spain, organizing in-person meetings could be quite challenging.To overcome this, they chose the hybrid model for their Assemblies, where attendance is mandatory.

After having used other platforms which were a bit more complicated, they chose Koorum to implement the attendance confirmation.

By the incorporation of Zoom into the Assembly, AEF was able to track in real time, where participants were attending online or in person. For those who came to the Assembly, as they were sent a QR, they could confirm their presence as they entered the venue.

All this process was very simple. AEF team assisted the ones who needed help through the voting, both before, during and after the Assembly. It was not necessary to use other platforms in the process.

Electronic voting for all

During AEF’s Assembly there were people of all ages taking part, some of them with no mobile phones. This fact didn’t stop them from participating in the voting process. Thanks to the support team, they were able to vote comfortably and in normal conditions, without compromising security or anonymity.

Safety and quality management are core values at Kuorum. Based on these principles, we adapt our technologies to the needs of our customers. AEF can verify it.

Real-time results

Thanks to the platform, the results were immediately projected once people had voted. This increased efficiency at the Assemblies, allowing other issues to be addressed more easily. As a result, events are now faster thanks to our technology.

The smooth execution of the event made the representatives of the foundations feel safe and comfortable during the voting process, leading to higher satisfaction with the Assembly. This presents positive implications for the association and his partners. AEF not only received favorable feedback about Kuotum, it also strengthened his own reputation, fostering loyalty and attracting new clients.
