It certifies the quality of their governance, financial management and follow-up of the effectiveness of their work. It is awarded on the basis of checks carried out by independent professionals and a hearing following a process of optimization of practices. It is therefore a vector of trust for funders and donors.<\/p>\n<p>Pursuing a threefold objective of structuring, improvement and greater transparency, Geres has been committed to a quality approach since 2012. That approach provided for several stages of support and advice, evaluation and bringing into line with the IDEAS Label.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2014, Geres thus obtained the IDEAS Label for the first time. In 2019, and in 2023 for the third time, this label was renewed following a new phase of diagnosis, optimization and external controls.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|||-49px||&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|||0px&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/ideas.asso.fr\/le-label\/&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.asso.fr\/le-label\/\" class=\"know-more black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"icon-arrow_right\"><\/i><span>Go to IDEAS page<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;14px|20px|0px|20px||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px|20px||20px&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;rgba(92,122,153,0.25)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1400px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;13px||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFB622&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;42px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;0em&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;56px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||16px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_2_text_align_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_text_align_phone=&#8221;left&#8221; header_2_text_align_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;47px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;display: flex;&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">KEY FIGURES of 2024<br \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#ffb622&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;4px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;10%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-8px||0px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; module_class=&#8221;chiffres-cles&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1400px&#8221; min_height=&#8221;357px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;60px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; text_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>7.4 M\u20ac<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Geres budget<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The budget reaches 7.4 M\u20ac.
