What humanis does

HUMANIS (legal name: Association HUMANIS, operating as 'Collectif d'associations de solidarité') is a French non-profit association registered in Schiltigheim under the Tribunal d'instance de Schiltigheim, founded in 1996 and headquartered at 7 rue du Héron, 67300 Schiltigheim (north of Strasbourg, Grand Est region). The organization functions as a federating collective of 94 solidarity associations, comprising both local antennas of major NGOs and smaller international solidarity NGOs working in sectors including health, education, agriculture, and human rights across more than 40 countries.

HUMANIS delivers a portfolio of support services to member associations that include administrative support, volunteer coordination, office resources, communication tools, logistical assistance, and IT services. Its product line also encompasses consumer-facing offerings: Ordidocaz, a physical and online retail store selling refurbished computers and IT accessories at affordable prices while promoting digital inclusion and IT recycling; recurring public events such as Forum HUMANI-TERRE, Festival des Solidarités, Village du Partage, La Soupe Étoilée, Défilé de mode éthique, and the Salon des Solidarités; the Bourse aux Projets grant program (€21,800 disbursed in 2026); a Centre de Ressources (methodological tool library); a Cellule d'urgence emergency-response unit; an ECSI international-citizenship education program; and professional insertion services. The underlying technology is a standard open-source WordPress CMS paired with CiviCRM for membership and donor management (PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3), hosted on OVH servers in Europe; the website uses Google Analytics and Google Maps, with Mailchimp for email and HelloAsso for donation and event registration.

The revenue model is donation- and grant-led rather than commercial. Streams include financial donations from individuals and companies (qualifying for 75% / 60% French tax deductions), material donations of equipment and supplies, Ordidocaz hardware retail sales, event-generated revenue, annual membership cotisations from the 94 member associations, and institutional grants from République Française, Région Grand Est, Collectivité européenne d'Alsace, Strasbourg Eurométropole, Union Européenne (European Social Fund), France Travail, Fondation Vinci, AG2R La Mondiale, Caisse d'Épargne, and Crédit Coopératif. The go-to-market is event-driven (Forum HUMANI-TERRE, Festival des Solidarités, Village des Assos), with multi-channel digital outreach (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr) and a 2,000-copy print journal distributed 6 times per year. Governance is collegiate with co-presidents (Coprésidents), a Director (Directeur), and an administrative team; named publishing directors include Kamran YEKRANGI and Alix SANCHEZ, with Amal ISSAOUI heading Services.
