Femmes 3000 Fédération

What Femmes 3000 Fédération does

Femmes 3000 Fédération is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1998 by Michèle Barzac and headquartered in Paris. Under current president Françoise Terrier (in office since 2024), the federation's mission is to promote the role of women in public, economic, social, and cultural life in France and Europe by rendering visible the contributions, projects, and competencies of women. It operates as a federated network of five regional delegations — Gironde, Grand Paris, Languedoc Roussillon, Pays Basque Sud Landes, and Provence — each with its own bureau, plus six national thematic commissions covering Environment, Enterprise/Entrepreneurship, Sport & Health, Humanitarian & Social, Art & Culture, and Education & Youth.

The federation's core offerings are membership subscriptions, recurring events (notably Les Mardis du Flore and the annual Gala Femmes 3000 with awards such as Innovation, Humor, and Expansion/International trophies), and a tax-deductible donation program. Membership is tiered at 50€/year for standard individuals, 30€/year for under-30 members, 100€/year for associations, and 300€/year for corporate partners, with monthly donor tiers from 5€ to 100€. The association holds general-interest status (association d'intérêt général), enabling 66% individual and 60% corporate tax deductions on donations. Membership enrollment and event ticketing run on AssoConnect (membership management) and HelloAsso (ticketing); there is no proprietary technology product, no app, and no disclosed AI capabilities.

The go-to-market model is community-led and event-driven: word-of-mouth, regional events, round tables with high-profile speakers (e.g., Muriel Pénicaud), theater performances, film screenings, and sports partnerships (MHB, MHSC, MHR, BLMA, Tecnifibre) drive member acquisition. Distribution is direct, via the website and regional delegation outreach, with marketing amplified by social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), newsletter, press releases, and earned media. Revenue is generated solely through membership dues and donations; no funding rounds, corporate investors, or government grants are disclosed.
