Commitment to Rigorous Civic Accountability
As an organization recognized as operating in the direct public interest under the French Non-Profit Association Act of 1901 (RNA: W281003093, SIREN: 483882544), Les Amis de Bois Richeux considers public transparency not simply a statutory obligation, but an essential moral covenant with our members, volunteer craftspeople, public partners, and the citizens of Pierres and Eure-et-Loir.
In conformity with our founding constitution, our association operates on an entirely non-commercial basis. We distribute no profits, grant no private benefits to administrators, and direct all resources toward our civic heritage mission.
"All membership fees and dues are fully reinvested in the association's public interest missions."

Valorization of Non-Monetized Civic Support (Volunteer Contributions)
Traditional financial accounting captures only monetary inflows. However, the core heartbeat of Les Amis de Bois Richeux is the voluntary labor of dedicated citizens. In accordance with French ministerial standards on voluntary contributions in kind (bénévolat associatif), we track and evaluate volunteer hours dedicated to our public missions:
- 2025 Volunteer Hours Dedicated: 3,420 verified hours across 124 registered community volunteers.
- Estimated Economic Value to Territory: Over €85,500 in specialized stonemasonry, historical carpentry, botanical stewardship, and pedagogical supervision contributed without commercial charge.
- Volunteer Safety Record: 100% adherence to regional safety protocols with zero lost-time incidents during restoration workcamps.
