World No.2 Rafael Nadal has planned yet another philanthropic move through his charity foundation. Recently, the Rafa Nadal Foundation announced the creation of the Rafa Nadal Foundation Center in Madrid. The Madrid base will be the third of its kind for the Rafa Nadal Foundation since the launch of their first center in Palma (2014), and then in Valencia, which opened in 2019.
Acknowledging the hardships endured by minors and their families due to the pandemic, the foundation will aim to fight against the social effects of the crisis. Furthermore, the foundation’s efforts have strengthened after receiving donations from Endesa, the largest electric utility company in Spain.

This was Endesa’s second donation to the Rafa Nadal Foundation, with the first coming in July last year. Jose Bogas, CEO of Endesa, considers the company’s partnership with the Foundation as a great opportunity for their Public Responsibility Plan.
The Centers conduct a comprehensive training program for children which places emphasis on sports, educational, and psychosocial aspects. To minimize the negative effects of the pandemic, the Madrid Center will also provide psychological support to families in situations of unemployment.
