The number of associations in France continues to grow, as do the legal rules and case law applicable to the non-profit sector.
National and collective solidarity, increasingly present in our society, is partly behind the flourishing development of associations.
Donations from individual third parties are used to fund projects run by non-profit organisations, and donations are tax-advantaged provided certain conditions are met.
The non-profit sector also benefits from significant support from companies wishing to promote projects of general interest or public utility, and to participate in the funding of artistic and cultural works, in particular through the creation of foundations. Corporate philanthropy also enables companies to directly fund a wide range of cultural and social projects run by associations, while ensuring that they benefit from favourable tax treatment.
From the creation to the dissolution of an association or foundation, there are many issues to consider, including social, legal and tax issues.
A perfect grasp of the legal and tax issues involved is essential to ensuring the security of transactions carried out by players in the sector.
Abeille Avocats can help you set up and monitor these projects, thanks to its expertise in the sector and the complementary skills of its lawyers.
