No profit motive
EDILAM’s resources are fully reinvested into running and improving the
tools it provides. No profit is distributed; directors serve on a
strictly volunteer basis.
Nonprofit association (loi 1901) · Montpellier
Serving the associations
that keep our communities alive.
EDILAM builds and provides shared digital tools to relieve volunteers of their day-to-day administrative burden — nonprofit, in the public interest.
Our mission
Shared digital tools for the nonprofit sector.
EDILAM is a French nonprofit association (“association loi 1901”, disinterested management). Our mission is to build, host and maintain shared digital tools for the nonprofit sector, so that small volunteer-run associations can access quality software they could never afford on their own.
By pooling development, hosting and maintenance costs, we give volunteers back time and energy for their work in the field. All resources are fully reinvested; no profit is ever distributed; directors serve on a volunteer basis; and each association retains full ownership of its data.
Our programs
Rotalink, our first program serving other associations.
Rotalink — our first program, currently live. Rotalink is a management platform for Rotaract clubs, helping them handle members, meetings, charitable actions and fundraising. Rotaract and Rotary clubs are themselves nonprofit associations engaged in community service, so EDILAM’s core activity directly helps other charitable organizations carry out their missions.
Further tools for other families of associations will follow, in the same nonprofit, mutualized model.
Our principles
Four commitments that guide our work.
At the service of associations, not the reverse
The associations that use our tools keep full control over their data,
their organization and their choices. EDILAM is a tool at their
disposal, never an intermediary that comes between them and their
members.
Mutualization and accessibility
By pooling development, hosting and maintenance costs, EDILAM makes
available to small volunteer-run structures tools that would otherwise
be out of their reach.
Sovereignty and transparency
Data is hosted in France. The code, the bylaws and the governance are
designed to be inspectable, auditable and understandable by any
legitimately interested person.
What we publish
An approach built for the long run.
Every tool EDILAM publishes grows out of a concrete need voiced by the nonprofit sector, then matures at the pace of its users. We favour reliability and longevity over a race for features.
Our first program, Rotalink, is live today (see the Our programs section). Others will follow for other families of associations, without ever straying from our nonprofit, mutualized model.
