Abstract: This article proposes an analysis of governance frameworks dedicated to grassroots volunteer organizations. Thanks to lexicometry, it synthesizes the models, theories, mechanisms, stakeholders and best practices of associative governance with the main French standards (AFNOR, ASTC, Comité de la Charte, CSESS, ESSEC and IFA). The frameworks are rather traditional (agency, resource dependence, control) and focused on internal stakeholders. Conceptual differences, a lag with research and a lack of adaptation to small associations are also noteworthy. A thematization of good practices from the standards is proposed.
