Generate an association's bylaws, minutes and legal documents
Bylaws under the French 1901 law on associations, the minutes of the founding meeting, general meeting minutes and the special register are produced from your information, ready to sign.
Set up a 1901-law association with the right documents
An association does not need to be registered already to get started. toGaether supports its creation: the bylaws and the minutes of the founding meeting are generated from the information entered, ready to be signed and filed.
An existing association picks up from its RNA number (its entry in the French national register of associations) and imports its bylaws.
1901-law bylaws and minutes of the founding meeting- General meeting minutes
- Special register kept up to date
- Document signing and archiving
How it works
Fill in
Name, purpose, registered office, composition of the board.
Generate
Bylaws, minutes of the founding meeting or of a general meeting.
Sign
The officers sign and the document is archived.
Track
The compliance score keeps the schedule.
Compliance tracked all year round
A general meeting not held, a change of officers not declared, an incomplete register: these oversights only show on the day a bank, an insurer or the school asks for the document. The compliance score flags what is missing before anyone asks for it.
Archives that stay with the association
Signed documents are kept with the association, not in a former secretary's mailbox. Each board finds the bylaws in force and the history of decisions.
The documents a student association must be able to produce
At any time, a bank, an insurer, a venue owner or the institution may ask for the current bylaws, the list of officers in post and the latest general meeting minutes. These are also the documents a grant application requires.
Gathering them the day before a deadline is the usual scenario. Keeping them up to date through the year, in the tool where decisions are made, avoids the rush and the conflicting versions.
Frequently asked questions
Does the association already have to be registered with the prefecture?
No. The bylaws and the minutes of the founding meeting are generated from the information entered, ready to be signed and filed.
Do the generated documents replace legal advice?
No. They provide a basis consistent with the French 1901 law on associations; a specific situation (regulated purpose, employees, commercial activity) calls for a professional's opinion.
What is the special register?
It is the register in which an association records changes to its bylaws and changes of officers. Our glossary gives the full definition.
