Survey on associations

The purpose of the survey on the situation of associations is to provide statistical data on all associations covered by the law of 1st July 1901 and by Alsace-Moselle local law, and assimilated and actually carrying out an activity, whatever the field and whether or not they employ employees.

The objective is to count the active associations by field of activity, to evaluate the number of their members, their financial and human resources.

The themes concern the characterization of activities (main and possibly secondary) according to a nomenclature very similar to that of the 2019 survey, the associations' human resources(e.g volunteers) and financial resources (e.g. donations, membership fees, subsidies, public funding), their organization (membership of a network...) and their scope of intervention.

Employing associations respond to two additional modules on expenses and the balance sheet.

This survey was carried out for the first time in 2014 (situation of associations in 2013).

The survey conducted in 2014 was a first for official statistics, which had never directly surveyed associations. In particular, it responded to one of the key recommendations of the CNIS report « Connaissance des associations » published in December 2010.
