Why has eSignature become essential for non-profit organisations?
Non-profit organisations manage numerous binding documents: articles of association, general meeting minutes, grant agreements, volunteering contracts or employment contracts. Paper-based signatures slow down collective decisions, complicate member coordination and generate heavy administrative burdens.
Electronic signature allows associations to streamline their governance, secure their commitments and modernise their operations — even when members are geographically dispersed.
"We are established across the 4 departments of our region (PLD). Signing our tripartite agreements has become a simple formality despite the number of signers. Documents remain clean, protected, and our partners are sometimes surprised that we use such a sophisticated system."

Simplify every step of your association's management
Which documents can a non-profit organisation sign electronically?
Tailored to every type of organisation
Why is electronic signature valid for a non-profit organisation?
Electronic signature benefits from a legally recognised framework in Europe. When it allows the signer to be identified, ensures document integrity and guarantees a reliable link between the person and the act, it carries evidentiary value comparable to that of a handwritten signature.
For a non-profit organisation, this means that articles of association, agreements, contracts or meeting minutes can be signed electronically with complete security, provided the appropriate signature level is used for the stakes of the document.
The available levels (simple, advanced, qualified) allow the security level to be adjusted to the needs of the organisation.
Secure your organisational commitments
Non-profit organisations can face challenges or document fraud risks. Electronic signature strengthens the traceability of collective decisions and protects the integrity of documents.
