What Transparency International France does

Transparency International France is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1995 and headquartered at 14 passage Dubail, 75010 Paris. It is the oldest independent, non-partisan association in France dedicated to fighting corruption and is a founding national chapter of the global Transparency International movement, which operates in more than 100 countries. The organization's mission centers on preventing, detecting, and sanctioning corruption across public and private sectors, addressing issues including illicit financial flows, lobbying regulation, political financing transparency, whistleblower protection, public procurement integrity, and real-estate opacity.

The organization delivers a portfolio of advocacy, legal, educational, and research services rather than technology products. Core offerings include: the Centre d'Assistance Juridique et d'Action Citoyenne (CAJAC), a legal assistance center operating under ministerial accreditation to support corruption witnesses and victims; a secure reporting platform (Signaler) for incident intake; publications including practical legal guides, policy position papers, and in-depth research reports (such as an Alternative Plan with 19 anti-corruption measures); the 'Convaincre les candidats' electoral accountability program; forums for committed municipalities and enterprises; educational programs for higher and secondary institutions; the 'Où va l'argent ?' podcast on financial crime; and a Mid-Mandate Municipal Accountability Tracker monitoring elected officials' transparency commitments. The organization holds both ministerial accreditation for public-interest legal action and HATVP accreditation for lobbying activities.

Revenue is generated through individual donations (one-time and recurring monthly options qualifying for 66% tax deduction under Article 200 of the French General Tax Code), annual membership fees, and ancillary professional services delivered through CAJAC. Go-to-market relies on a community-led model combining content marketing (publications, podcasts, newsletters), press relations, events and conferences, social media, and membership drives, supplemented by direct enterprise and public-sector training engagements. No revenue or headcount figures are publicly disclosed, and accounts are published annually in the Journal Officiel.
