This is exactly what a French non-profit organisation (Framasoft [1])
does, they offer multiple services with FOSS software such as:
- Framadate (simple polls),
- Framaform (alternative to Google Forms),
- Framapad (alternative to Google Docs),
- Mobilizon (event plannifier),
And quite a few others, I’ll let you check the list of their services [2].

They are even the main developers of both PeerTube, an AGPL video
service on the Fediverse, and of Mobilizon which I mentioned above and
which is also AGPL.
