Les Jours Heureux is a French organisation reconnue d'utilite publique (RUP) - formally recognised as serving the public interest by decree of the Conseil d'Etat. RUP status is the highest accreditation available to French associations and grants the right to receive legacies, bequests, and certain forms of public subsidy. It is registered in the Repertoire National des Associations (RNA), maintained by the French Ministry of the Interior, under RNA number W751033265.
You can verify Les Jours Heureux's legal status in several ways. First, look up the RNA record directly on the JOAFE (Journal Officiel des Associations et Fondations d'Entreprise) at https://www.journal-officiel.gouv.fr/pages/associations-search-associations using RNA number W751033265. 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. Third, ask the organisation for its statuts (bylaws), its most recent rapport d'activite (annual report), and its comptes annuels (annual accounts). 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.
You can donate to Les Jours Heureux directly through its donation page (https://lesjoursheureux.asso.fr/nous-soutenir/). French charities typically accept bank transfers (virement bancaire via IBAN), cheques, online card payments, and recurring direct debits (prelevement automatique). Many use platforms like HelloAsso (France's leading free fundraising platform for associations), Hellodon, or their own website. For tax-deductible giving: donations to associations d'interet general and organismes d'utilite publique are eligible for a 66% income-tax reduction (reduction d'impot) up to 20% of taxable income, or 75% for organisations providing meals, shelter, or healthcare to the needy (up to 1,000 EUR per year, then 66% above that). The charity must issue a recu fiscal (tax receipt) for the donation to be deductible. Corporate donors (mecenat d'entreprise) can deduct 60% of donations up to 0.5% of turnover.
Yes, Les Jours Heureux is reconnue d'utilite publique (RUP). Recognition of public utility is granted by decree of the Conseil d'Etat, the highest administrative court in France, after a thorough review of the organisation's governance, finances, purpose, and national significance. RUP status allows the organisation to receive legacies (legs), bequests, and certain forms of public subsidy that ordinary associations cannot. It is the highest level of formal recognition available to French associations and foundations, and only around 2,000 organisations hold it nationwide.
Les Jours Heureux is based in Paris. France is divided into 101 departements across 18 regions (13 in metropolitan France plus 5 overseas). French associations can operate nationally regardless of where they are registered - the RNA registration is done at the prefecture of the registered address but does not limit the geographic scope of activities.
