La Cité des Associations aims to provide comprehensive assistance, including legal, accounting, logistical, and human support, to all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector, as well as social purpose businesses.
Our mission ranges from assisting in the creation of new nonprofits to providing sustained support in the early years, including legal assistance and other support for more established associations.
Additionally, we ensure continuous monitoring of project calls and other subsidies. We also organize training sessions for nonprofits, either comprehensively or on specific topics as requested by our members.
Since October 13, 2023, our nonprofit has become the proud owner of the first Association House in Brussels: 'La Cité des Associations', located at 153 Rue Émile Féron in 1060 Saint-Gilles.
The opening of a physical space 'La Cité' aims primarily to facilitate communication and collaboration among different associations and to strengthen the regional social fabric.
This opening also aims to provide associations with a permanent and decent workspace, much more so than the numerous temporary spaces that often appear in our capital.
Membership in our association is open to all existing Belgian nonprofits or those in the process of creation, which pursue their goals outside of any political or religious considerations. The occupancy of 'La Cité' is primarily intended for Brussels-based nonprofits to promote the development of a regional network.
La Cité, is first and foremost a nonprofit organization
In the market, there are several companies that have found a pool of clients in the nonprofit sector: simple information websites, software developers, assistance offices, etc.
Born from the nonprofit world, The Association City aims primarily to offer various services to the nonprofit sector, allowing it to focus on the core of its activities.
That's why we calculate our membership fees to break even only, without any ambition to generate profit or accumulate reserves.
La Cité, is primarily today the first Association House in Brussels
A nonprofit serving nonprofits through nonprofits.
Our members are not just beneficiaries of our services. They are also important components who can, if they wish, participate in the life and development of The Association City.
