She founded charitable institutions such as 'El niño descalzo', 'El comedor y ropero Da Guarda' and supported others such as 'Las Colonias Escolares para niños pretuberculosos', 'Gota de Leche', 'La Casa Cuna' and 'Las Cantinas Escolares Concepción Arenal'. In 1912, she started 'La Fiesta de la Flor' (the Flower Party) in order to collect funds for people suffering from tuberculosis. Children and young people used to ask the passer-by for a contribution in exchange for a flower. Two years later her campaign got the support of Queen Victoria Eugenia. The Flower Party was later called 'La Fiesta de la Banderita de la Cruz Roja' (The Flag Party of the Red Cross).
