PDF tools for non-profits
Merge grant applications, compress reports for donors, OCR archived materials, sign acknowledgements. Free PDF tools for mission-driven teams.
Non-profit teams often run lean — limited staff, modest software budgets, paperwork that has to look professional to donors and grantmakers. PDFs are everywhere: grant applications, donor receipts, board packets, program reports, archived program materials. Tools that cost real money per seat add up fast at small organizations.
PDFOnly's free tier covers most non-profit needs: merging grant application packets into single PDFs for submission; compressing program reports to fit donor portal upload caps; OCR for archived program materials so you can search organizational history; signing acknowledgement letters and pledge agreements; converting between PDF and Word for collaborative grant editing. Files up to 100 MB and 10 files per batch is enough for nearly every non-profit workflow. We also offer a 50% discount on Pro/Team plans for verified 501(c)(3) organizations — email [email protected] from your organization domain to apply.

Frequently asked questions
Is the free tier really enough for a small non-profit?
Yes for most. The 100 MB / 10 files per batch covers any normal grant application, donor packet, or report. The unlimited daily processing means you don't hit walls during grant deadline crunches.
How does the non-profit discount work?
Email [email protected] from your organization's domain with your 501(c)(3) determination letter. We apply a 50% discount to your Pro or Team plan for the first year, renewable annually. International equivalent registrations (UK CIO, Canadian charity, etc.) qualify as well.
Are donor and grant documents private?
Files are encrypted in transit, processed in isolated workers, auto-deleted in an hour, and never used to train AI models. Suitable for the vast majority of non-profit confidentiality needs. For organizations handling protected health information (e.g. health-focused non-profits), Enterprise adds HIPAA-aligned controls.
