# Form Builders & e-Signature Solutions for Nonprofits
## eSignature platforms
eSignature platforms offer numerous advantages for nonprofits, including increased efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced security. By eliminating the need for physical signatures, these platforms streamline workflows, save time, and reduce paper consumption. Some eSignature platforms offer free or discounted plans specifically designed for nonprofits.

### JotForm Sign
The [JotForm Sign](https://www.jotform.com/products/sign/) free plan offers basic eSignature features like document signing and storage, but it has limitations on the number of documents you can sign per month (10) and the features available. While it's suitable for occasional use, organizations with higher volume needs may require a paid plan. [For nonprofits, JotForm offers discounted rates ](https://www.jotform.com/nonprofit/pricing/)for their paid plans.
### Microsoft SharePoint eSignature
[Microsoft SharePoint's eSignature solution](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/syntex/esignature-send-requests) provides a secure method for obtaining digital signatures. It is free for nonprofits, though it requires activating the free nonprofit Azure subscription and [involves some administrative setup](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/syntex/esignature-setup).
