FACE Iliha Territoire de Lorraine et de Haute Saône

What FACE Iliha Territoire de Lorraine et de Haute Saône does

FACE Iliha Territoire de Lorraine et de Haute Saône is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2014 and headquartered in Épinal, in the Vosges department. It operates as the local territorial branch of the national Fondation FACE (Fondation Reconnue d'Utilité Publique), functioning as a business club that convenes roughly 180-190+ member enterprises to finance and deliver workplace social-inclusion programs in the Lorraine and Haute-Saône regions. The beneficiary base covers jobseekers, refugees, and people under SPIP (French Prison Service) supervision.

The foundation runs a portable program portfolio including Objectif Job, FAIR (refugee integration), CV Vidéo and CV Vidéo à l'envers, Match pour l'emploi, Face à FACE networking events, Autocar du recrutement, and SPIP support. Operations are anchored by three offices (Épinal as HQ, plus Nancy and Vesoul) and a small permanent team of about 10 employees, supported by over 5,500 mobilized employee volunteers from member companies and partner organizations. The CV Vidéo program reports a 70% positive exit rate into employment or training.

The business model is a hybrid of corporate membership fees and French public funding. Members include large employers (Michelin, Lactalis, Crédit Agricole Alsace Vosges, ADECCO, CRIT, Synergie, Groupe MGE) along with regional SMEs, while public co-financing flows from Pôle Emploi, departmental and regional authorities, and SPIP contracts. As a non-profit, FACE Iliha does not generate profit; its "revenue" is the annual operating budget used to deliver programs to roughly 25,000 cumulative beneficiaries since inception.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Secours Catholique: Major French nonprofit addressing poverty and exclusion through territorial delegations. Comparable in the precarity, rights-access, and integration service lines, though structurally larger and faith-rooted.
• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): France's national public employment agency and a core institutional partner of FACE iliha. While France Travail operates as the incumbent at national scale, it increasingly sub-contracts inclusion delivery to actors like FACE iliha, making it both a partner and the dominant reference point for outcomes-based comparison.
• Fondation SNCF: Large corporate foundation funding solidarity and employment-inclusion projects across France. Comparable as a peer in CSR-driven funding of inclusion programs, with similar outcome-tracking expectations and territorial anchor strategy.

Direct peers

• Emmaüs France: Major French social inclusion federation combining employment, housing, and solidarity-economy activities through local branches. Comparable to FACE iliha in the breadth of programs (employment, education, precarity) and reliance on multi-stakeholder governance, though focused more on solidarity economy than employer mentorship.
• ADECCO Foundation (Fondation ADECCO): Corporate foundation of ADECCO France focused on employment inclusion for disadvantaged groups. Operates a similar employer-mentorship and job-matching model with comparable target beneficiaries, including a documented member overlap (ADECCO is a FACE iliha member).
• Coorace: National federation of enterprises working on inclusion through economic activity (IAE). Shares FACE iliha's mission of professional integration of vulnerable populations and operates a comparable territorial federation model with member enterprises, though its primary vector is the inclusion-employment enterprise sector.
• Fédération des Acteurs de la Solidarité (FAS): National federation of social solidarity actors working on accommodation, social inclusion, and integration. Shares territorial-delegation structure, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and overlap with FACE iliha's precarity and refugee-inclusion programs.
• Fondation FACE: National parent network under which FACE iliha operates as a local branch. Fondation FACE is a FRUP-led social inclusion foundation with the same multi-stakeholder employer-engagement model, providing direct comparability on funding structure, methodology, and member-base dynamics.
• Fédération des Entreprises d'Insertion (FEI): Federation representing social-purpose enterprises focused on hiring and supporting people distant from employment. Provides a comparable employer-led inclusion framework, with shared stakeholders in the Région Grand Est ecosystem.
• ManpowerGroup Foundation / Fondation ManpowerGroup: Corporate foundation of ManpowerGroup France supporting employment inclusion. Operates an analogous employer-led mentorship and inclusion framework; less territorial scale than FACE iliha, but highly comparable on the staffing-industry corporate-foundation model.
