Negotiated rates
Association-only pricing terms, up to −30% on certain product families.
Programme — Purchasing alliance
The purchasing alliance for non-profit associations
We negotiate favourable general terms of sale with suppliers by pooling the orders of multiple associations.
A.G.H.A.’s official purpose
“To negotiate, on behalf of associations, general terms of sale with suppliers, based on pooled, global purchasing.”
That official purpose — filed with the French authorities — is at the very heart of why we exist. Many non-profits share the same needs: animal food, supplies, energy, veterinary equipment, office supplies, services. Bought separately, these products are expensive. Bought together, they become affordable.
A.G.H.A. acts as a non-profit purchasing alliance: we identify reputable suppliers, negotiate pricing and logistics terms, then make those agreements available to every partner association. No commission, no profit — only the added value of the collective.
