Revenue model

1. Public institutional funding: Horizon Amitié operates primarily through government funding, public subsidies, and institutional grants. Funding comes from government bodies including the Préfecture du Bas-Rhin, Collectivité Européenne d'Alsace, Ville et Eurométropole de Strasbourg, OFII, SIAO 67, the European Union (FSE), and DIRECCTE UT67. Services are free for beneficiaries, with costs covered by public funds.
2. Social insertion revenue: The Solibat insertion workshop generates revenue through contracting services to public bodies and private companies — including road sweeping for the University of Strasbourg, cleaning and renovation services, textile collection, and green space maintenance — which supports the employment of people in insertion contracts.
3. La Banque de l'Objet resale revenue: The La Banque de l'Objet social insertion workshop collects unsold goods from large retailers and resells them at solidarity prices to the associative sector, Horizon Amitié services, and the general public, generating modest operating revenue.
4. Donations and philanthropy: The association receives donations from individuals and corporate sponsorship (mécénat), with tax deduction benefits for donors in France (up to 60% credit for companies).
