Question 31750 — associations and foundations

Summary

Ms. Sandrine Mörch draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports, responsible for youth and engagement, to the impacts of the crisis for those involved in solidarity, mutual aid and the general interest. These values ​​are essential in societies and are manifested daily on the ground, thanks to the associations which occupy a major place in the fabric. local. Managing an association requires numerous skills for which small structures are not always “equipped”: basic administrative: emails, letters, diary, internal organization; project management: educational set-up, search for funding (public and private), accounting, approvals, legal, human resources; internal and external communication (partnership and network). A double problem is then observed: the management of internal resources: governance, skills, management and allocation of tasks (volunteering, employment, civic service); the multiplicity of contacts, administrative files to be processed, from the grant request to the activity report. During the crisis, associations reported the difficulty of accessing aid granted by the Government, particularly due to criteria too restrictive to claim it. In addition, several factors made it difficult to support the most vulnerable groups: CAF aid accessible only to registered people: the associations were thus unable to help the most deprived people who did not benefit from the RSA; an increased lack of coordination between actors. Also, the initial scope of competence of the associations has been too broad, passing through food aid, distribution points, digital divide due to access and provision of necessary equipment, preventing the completion of educational continuity that the associations had to compensate for; the difficulty of accessing food vouchers; the impossibility of claiming FDVA. In this transitional period of gradual resumption of activity, the State and communities are in dialogue with associations having modes of very different functioning. Indeed, small associations are often administered by retired volunteers (who sometimes need to modernize their processes) and more recent structures, without experience, but inclined, for example, to move to “all dematerialized”. Thus, she questions him about the Government's intentions in terms of simplification and harmonization of administrative, budgetary and accountants of associations, in order to stimulate a new dynamic of trust, a clear and adaptive common thread, allowing the tighter link between administrations and associative structures.
