The result shows the official name, registered purpose, registered address, and date of creation. Second, check the Data Associations portal maintained by the DJEPVA (Direction de la Jeunesse, de l'Education Populaire et de la Vie Associative) at https://www.data-asso.fr/ - this aggregates RNA data with financial information (comptes annuels), public subsidies received, and employment data.

Legitimate French charities, especially those receiving public subsidies or donations exceeding 153,000 EUR per year, are required to publish these. If the RNA record exists, the purpose matches, and financial reports are available, the organisation is legitimate.

3.8 / 5 average · includes imported Trustpilot
We have previously used The Little Box Office for ticket sales. The only reason we swapped was it was all in English, and we wanted to sell more to French speaking customers.This was a big mistake. HelloAsso say they are free - but they have hidden methods of getting money. In short, they are dishonest in their approach and resort to what amounts to emotional blackmail to get our customers to donate to HelloAsso. In the end we have had to add warnings about these methods to our web site, where we have linked to HelloAsso for ticket sales. We're stuck with them now for this event, but will NEVER use HelloAsso again.Appalingly bad!
