Maison des associations d'Amiens Métropole

What Maison des associations d'Amiens Métropole does

Maison des associations d'Amiens Métropole (Maam) is a nonprofit association organized under French Law 1901 (SIRET 78061316200038) that operates as an information, service, and resource center for associative life across the 39 municipalities of Amiens Métropole in the Hauts-de-France region. The organization welcomes, orients, and accompanies associations, project leaders, and the general public, functioning as a centralized hub for inter-associative exchange. It is led by President Christelle Falgareiro and operates with a small team of 9 employees.

Maam's product surface is built around a member portal (Espace Adhérent), a searchable association directory (Annuaire des associations), an event calendar (Agenda de la Maam), a volunteer matching platform (Bénévolat), a job board (Offres d'emploi), and a space rental service covering three physical sites in Amiens: the headquarters at 12 rue Frédéric Petit, the inclusive third-place Le QG d'Henriette at 7 rue Henriette Dumuin, and a 180m2 hall with parking at 58/60 rue Le Nôtre. No proprietary technology platform is operated; digital services are supported by external partner Agence ici and supplemented by linked resources including EVA Formation Bénévoles e-learning and the Appel à projets funding platform. The annual Agora trade show is the flagship visibility event for member associations.

Maam's business model combines three revenue streams: recurring membership fees from associations, one-time facility rental income, and public subsidies primarily from institutional backer Amiens Métropole. Crédit Agricole Brie Picardie provides sponsorship for website development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through direct inquiry. The organization has no venture, private equity, or institutional investment ownership and is governed as an independent nonprofit rather than as a commercial entity.

Direct peers

• France Bénévolat: National nonprofit that matches volunteers with associations across France through regional branches. It is a direct peer because volunteer matching is one of Maam's core Bénévolat services and France Bénévolat operates the same volunteer-association intermediation model, including in the Amiens region.
• JeVeuxAider.gouv.fr: French government-run Reserve Civique platform connecting citizens with volunteering missions posted by associations and public bodies. It is a direct peer because it directly competes with Maam's Bénévolat volunteer-matching functionality, including for associations in the Amiens Métropole territory.
• HelloAsso: French online platform providing free payment, donation, ticketing, and membership-management tools to associations nationwide. It is a direct peer because it serves the same association customers with overlapping functionality in event promotion, member management, and community organizing, competing for the same local association budgets.

Others

• Le Mouvement Associatif: National federation representing associations in France through advocacy and representation. It is an adjacent peer because it operates at a coordination-and-policy level above individual associations, while Maam operates at a local member-services level — both support the broader associative ecosystem in complementary ways.
• La Ligue de l'enseignement: Major French secular association federation providing education, culture, and civic-engagement programs through a national network of local branches. It is an adjacent peer because it serves overlapping association and civic-engagement communities with national reach and complementary programmatic offerings that compete for the same association members' time and dues.
• DLA - Dispositif Local d'Accompagnement: French public program providing consulting and capacity-building support to associations in each department, hosted by local civil-society organizations. It is an adjacent peer because it serves overlapping association customers with complementary advisory services (strategy, governance, funding) that complement Maam's resource-center offerings without directly competing.

Emerging players

• AssoConnect: French SaaS provider offering association-management software including member databases, payment processing, event management, and communication tools. It is an emerging peer because it targets the same association customers with deeper management functionality than Maam's directory and event calendar offerings.
