gestion désintéressée

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) corporate patronage
In a description of the types of organisation that can benefit from corporate patronage. They must serve public interest, be non-profit, and have "une gestion désintéressée". At first I thought this meant "impartially managed" (i.e. the people running the show don't do so with their own interests at heart). Now I'm wondering does it mean they do not receive payment for their management role?

Many thanks.

The link that Lucia posted has a section explaining that..."La rémunération des dirigeants est possible sous certaines conditions:" ... might help

Everyone agrees it's about not being paid but examples of potential beneficiaries include NGOs, schools and universities. Surely their managers are paid?

non-remunerated/voluntary management (team)

It means the management is "disinterested" because they are not paid.

management without benefits

Le caractère désintéressé de la gestion résulte de trois conditions qui doivent être remplies simultanément (article 261-7-1°-d) du Code général des impôts):

gestion et administration à titre bénévole
absence de distribution directe ou indirecte de bénéfice
l'actif ne doit pas être distribué
