2024 has once again been an intense year of activities across all cooperative activity groups, with organizational changes and improvements within the team, resulting in a positive financial result that allows us to generate a surplus to continue providing cooperative funds and gain solvency.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Highlights:
\n\u2022 The approval of the 2024 financial statements with a positive balance, for the sixth year since the start of operations.
\n\u2022 A 2025 budget with three scenarios.
\n\u2022 The prospect of adding two new employees to the team.
\n\u2022 The addition of a fifth member to the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\nActivity Report<\/h2>\n
We have organized several events and, in turn, participated in events to which we were invited. <\/p>\n
At CommonsCloud,<\/strong> we have focused on improving tools and platforms, infrastructure and tool maintenance, providing support, training, and meetings, with consulting services for member organizations and individuals; creating guides and tutorials; conducting communications and advertising; and providing other specialized services, such as the Backoffice for Athenaeums and Communities.<\/p>\n At Transitant, we have continued mapping, communication, support, and tool provision at the Ateneu del Barcelon\u00e8s Nord. We have supported the Encommun.io project in Quebec. We have provided university training for several master’s programs. We have documented (as is tradition) the Sobtec conference, and we have participated in the PliegOS project.<\/p>\n At XOIC, we have continued deploying the Open Network, maintaining contact with services, municipalities, and public agencies. We have advised and supported use cases, provided training, and gained expertise in incorporating new team members to achieve robustness and improve geographic provision.<\/p>\n At COMSOC, we have continued carrying out activities and projects in educational centers, radio and podcast training for global justice for adults, and we have developed reference materials in the educational field.<\/p>\nActivity Report<\/a>\n <\/p>\n We are members of federations, networks, associations, and cooperatives: Federation of Labor Cooperatives (FCTC); Federation of Consumer Cooperatives (Coopconsum); XES, eXO, The Things Network, CulturaCoop; La Lleialtat Santsenca; Som Mobilitat; Meet.coop; Web Architects; Som Conexi\u00f3.<\/p>\n femProcomuns has 185 user members and organisations: 87 organisations and 98 individuals. In 2024, there were 18 new members and 23 more from January to May 2025. In 2022, there was a significant increase in the number of female user members, and in 2023, in the adoption of services. More than half of the member entities are cooperatives (53) and 29% are associations (25). More than 33% of members are women (24% in April 2024). The members are users of CommonsCloud<\/strong> services.<\/p>\n There are 4 working members, 2 working members on their way to becoming members, and 11 collaborating members. At the beginning of 2024, there was a new working member and a change from a working member to a collaborating member.<\/p>\nSocial Report<\/a>\n <\/p>\n We had income of \u20ac260,000 and expenses of \u20ac240,000. Before deferring, income was \u20ac340,000, but we have deferred \u20ac140,000 to 2025 to complete projects started at the end of 2024.<\/p>\n This graph shows the evolution of income and expenses since the cooperative began operating. The green line shows the accounting income for the year, and the red line shows the expenses. The blue line shows the revenue for the fiscal year before deferring the anticipated revenue corresponding to work performed the following year.<\/p>\n This year, the GACs’ revenue is more unbalanced compared to previous years. Income from billing (40%) and fees (6%) is slightly higher than that from subsidies (39%). We continue with the goal of lowering this percentage without giving up on applying for subsidies.<\/p>\n In these two graphs, we see the type of expenses for 2024 and their evolution since the cooperative began operating. Since 2021, two-thirds or more of the costs are labor (61% in 2024) and have been growing with the expansion of staff, working hours, and salaries. Professional services (21%) have risen again, and in the financial report, we differentiate them from purchases (3%). Other expenses include servers, transportation, per diem, insurance, among others.<\/p>\n The Assembly approved a proposal to fund cooperative funds from the fiscal year’s surpluses, which once again allows for increased solvency. It’s important to note the allocation of the cooperative education and promotion fund (FEPC) at 15% (above the mandatory 10%) and the allocations that go to the Mandatory Fund and the Commons Collective Fund, where the remaining surpluses go after the other funds have been allocated and taxes paid. Currently, these funds represent 26% of annual expenses. These allocations, along with capital, allow us to avoid cash flow strains when managing the projects we work on.<\/p>\nFinancial Report<\/a>\n 1. Deepen the community dimension of our own and supported projects<\/span><\/p>\n 2.

The musical part consisted of a workshop and improvised concert with the drums of the Diablons d’Alcover.<\/p>\n This year, we met for our Ordinary General Assembly on Sunday, May 18th, at Masia Brichs in Ard\u00e8vol (Pin\u00f3s, Solson\u00e8s), and we also held the cooperative’s Social Meeting. User members, collaborating members, and working members were invited to the Assembly … Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":10520,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kt_blocks_editor_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[862,532,863,861,864],"class_list":["post-10570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-ago-en","tag-assembly","tag-brichs-en","tag-general-assembly","tag-solsones-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_3080-e1747767651707.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10570"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10571,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10570\/revisions\/10571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/femprocomuns.coop\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Social Report<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\nFinancial Report<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nIn the case of CommonsCloud<\/strong>, revenues exceeded \u20ac120,000. This project contributes almost half of the revenue (47%), and the remainder is between 22% and 15%. All GACs contribute 15% of their income to Structure, which this year has a small portion of its own income, mainly from the subsidy that will be spent in 2025. Significant amounts of CommonsCloud and XOIC billing are being deferred from 2024 for tasks and services being performed in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\nStrategy and Budgets 2025-26<\/h2>\n
With the vision of femProcomuns as our horizon: “We are building a strategic social tool to make commons activity viable and sustainable,” <\/b>we have rethought our strategic lines for the coming months:
