What Fondation ANAIS does

Fondation ANAIS is a French non-profit foundation recognized as being of public utility (Reconnue d'Utilité Publique by decree of October 21, 2019), founded in 1954 by Abbé Houssemaine in Orne as the Association Normande d'Action et d'Insertion Sociale. It accompanies people with disabilities and dependent elderly persons across their life course through two operational divisions. ANAIS Entreprise drives professional insertion through ESAT (Établissements et Services d'Aide par le Travail) and EA (Entreprises Adaptées), delivering 16 B2B service lines including sewing, laundry, concierge, secure document destruction, digitization, premises maintenance, gardening, vegetable processing, local delivery, metalwork, digital services, artisanal production, catering, industrial subcontracting, secondary construction, and selective sorting. ANAIS Médico-Social provides residential, educational, therapeutic, and social support across 18 establishment types (EHPAD, FAM, MAS, FH, FV, FHE, IME, ITEP, SAVS, SAVS-AD, SAMSAH, SESSAD, UEMA, SAESAT, Centre Habitat, and others), serving children with autism spectrum disorders, working-age adults with disabilities, and dependent elderly persons.

The foundation operates 90+ named facilities across five French regions — Île-de-France, Normandie, Centre-Val de Loire, Pays de la Loire, and Grand Est — with headquarters in Paris and central services in Alençon. Revenue is generated primarily through French social security and Assurance Maladie funding administered via CDAPH orientation decisions and MDPH/MDA processes for medico-social establishments, supplemented by B2B commercial contracts from ANAIS Entreprise and by donations, legacies, and insurance-life gifts. Services are delivered through regulated administrative pathways with admissions processed via formal commission reviews. There is no proprietary technology disclosed; the operating model is built on regulatory authorization, a 70-year brand, and an extensive physical network. Notable partnerships include Handéo (board membership since September 2020), UFR Santé de Caen for medical-student training (October 2021), RSVA for adapted sports, and B2B relationships with Sodexo and Keolis supporting inclusive purchasing and inclusive sport events.
