Nonprofit Documents You Can Sign with SigPDF

Nonprofits and charitable organizations deal with a wide variety of documents that require signatures — from governance paperwork to grant compliance and donor management. SigPDF handles any PDF:

  • Grant agreements and grant applications
  • Board resolutions and meeting minutes
  • Donor pledge forms and gift agreements
  • Volunteer waivers and liability releases
  • Employment contracts and offer letters
  • Vendor and service provider agreements
  • Fiscal sponsorship agreements
  • Memorandums of understanding (MOUs)
  • Conflict of interest disclosure forms
  • Annual compliance and IRS filing documents
  • Event permits and venue rental agreements
  • Partnership and collaboration agreements

Affordable for Nonprofit Budgets

Nonprofits operate on tight budgets where every expense is scrutinized. Enterprise e-signature platforms charge $10-50+ per user per month, often with minimum user requirements and annual contracts. For a small nonprofit with limited staff, these costs divert funds from the mission.

SigPDF costs €2.08/month on an annual plan — less than a single cup of coffee. With unlimited document signing, there are no per-document fees, no envelope limits, and no user minimums. Whether your executive director signs 5 documents or 50 in a month, the cost stays the same. This predictable, low pricing is designed for organizations that need to maximize every dollar.

For Executive Directors and Leadership

Executive directors sign the majority of organizational documents — grant agreements, vendor contracts, board resolutions, employment offers, and donor correspondence. SigPDF streamlines this workflow. When a document arrives by email, you open it in SigPDF, add your signature, and send the signed copy back. No printing, no scanning, no managing another software platform. You can sign from your office, from home, or from a conference — anywhere with a browser.

For Board Members

Nonprofit board members are typically volunteers who serve in addition to their regular jobs. Asking them to print, sign, scan, and return documents creates friction that can delay important governance actions. With SigPDF, board members can sign resolutions, conflict of interest disclosures, and policy documents from their phone or laptop in under a minute.

This is especially valuable for:

  • Remote board members who cannot attend in-person meetings
  • Urgent resolutions that need signatures between meetings
  • Annual compliance documents like conflict of interest forms
  • Board members who do not have easy access to a printer

For Grant Management

Grant agreements, progress reports, and compliance documents often require authorized signatures. Whether you are signing a federal grant agreement, a foundation grant letter, or a corporate sponsorship contract, SigPDF handles it. The privacy benefit is also relevant here — grant documents may contain budget details, organizational financials, and program specifics that you prefer to keep confidential during the signing process.

Privacy for Donor and Organizational Data

Nonprofit documents often contain sensitive information — donor names and contribution amounts, employee compensation details, organizational financials, beneficiary information, and strategic plans. SigPDF processes your PDF entirely in your browser. None of this data is uploaded to any server, stored in any database, or accessible to any third party.

Legally Valid for Nonprofit Operations

This includes grant agreements, employment contracts, board resolutions, and vendor agreements. Nonprofits can use electronic signatures for virtually all operational documents.
