Abstract
This paper analyses the role of philanthropy in the consolidation’s process of the Spanish industrial bourgeoisie between 1870 and 1935. Taking as a case of the study the Sociedad Protectora de los Niños de Madrid, it explores how the national project of child protection allowed the new bourgeoisie to establish influential relations with the upper classes and the political and economic powers, as well as the implementation of its ideal of values in the lower classes. This study is possible thanks to primary sources obtained from private documentation from the office of José Gabilán y Díaz
