Fundación Netri
Fundación Netri was founded in 2005 in Barcelona by Néstor Oller Bubé, who also leads the affiliated family office Netri Investments. The foundation targets extreme poverty through a dual approach: grants for basic needs and social investments (loans and guarantees) that generate measurable impact. Its strategy spans social investment, microfinance, agricultural development, healthcare, and education across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The foundation has completed over 375 projects in countries including Afghanistan, Kenya, India, Colombia, and Guatemala. It works with NGOs and local organizations to deliver grants and deploy catalytic capital through venture debt and guarantees. The foundation operates with an estimated asset base of roughly $20 million (Altss estimate). It maintains a professional network through the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) and the Spanish Foundation Network. Netri Investments, Oller Bubé's family office, supports the foundation's work alongside advisory relationships with Miguel Casas Huguet and Ignacio Catalán. What sets Fundación Netri apart is its hybrid model — it blends grantmaking with return-seeking social investments under the same roof, coordinated with a separate family office. This structure allows it to recycle capital while maintaining a clear charitable mission, an architecture more common among sophisticated impact-first foundations than traditional Spanish charities.
