Annotate PDF for nonprofits
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets nonprofit and NGO teams annotate a PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Annotating a PDF adds highlights, comments, shapes and notes on top of the page, so you can mark up a document without changing its text.
Why nonprofits annotate a PDF
A nonprofit merges its narrative report with financial statements into one grant submission, signs the board approval remotely, and compresses the package to meet a funder's upload limit — free.
Built for grant reports. Whether it's grant reports, financial statements, board minutes, Arthize's annotate pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Donor and beneficiary data is sensitive; nonprofits need private processing without a costly subscription.
What matters when you annotate a PDF
Annotations sit on top of the page and don't change the underlying text.
You can highlight, comment, draw and add notes.
Annotated files are ideal for review and feedback.
