## Why nonprofits convert Word to 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 word to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Donor and beneficiary data is sensitive; nonprofits need private processing without a costly subscription.
