Law of associations and foundations in Paris 3 (75003)

The law of associations is a branch of the private sector which concerns on the one hand the Associations known as "law of 1901" and the Associations of local Alsatian-Mosellan law.

Many laws apply to associations which are consequently applications of other branches of law.

This applies in particular to the law of contracts and obligations, tax law, labour law, etc.

A foundation isdefined by article 18 of the law n°87-571 of July 23, 1987 on the development of patronage as "the act by which one or more natural or legal persons decide to irrevocably allocate goods, rights or resources to the realization of a work of general interest and non-profit making".

It is a grouping of legal or natural persons to carry out a common project (as in the case of the association), but an irrevocable financial commitment of its founders to carry out a work of general interest with no profit motive. A foundation has no members. A board of directors, a management board and/or a supervisory board manages it

In the case of an association or foundation project, it is necessary to call on a legal professional to advise you.
