The Queen Sofía Foundation has also set up a donation channel for organizations and individuals. This decision opens the door for civil society to collaborate in the reconstruction of the affected areas, multiplying the impact of the initial fund.

The solidarity appeal seeks to create a support network in which every contribution can become a meaningful gesture for those who have lost so much. With this initiative, Queen Sofía not only provides resources, but also mobilizes consciences at a critical moment for the country.
