Abstract: Stakeholder orientation is congruent with democratic governance in French grassroots volunteer organizations (GVOs). These positive effects on the establishment of governance mechanisms and on performance are well-known. This research, thanks to the analysis of reports proposed by the largest French GVOs, highlights the contributions of each of the categories of stakeholders. Orientation towards beneficiaries is crucial, and orientation towards funders and companies increases the commitment to sustainable development. Decoupling and display practices in these reports are also highlighted, as well as the absence of managerialism.
