Case Study: The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria accelerates grant funding and cuts signing time by 80% with Adobe Document Cloud (Adobe Sign)

Nonprofit uses Adobe Sign to Speed Up Processes to Better Serve Communities Affected by Disease

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a Geneva‑based nonprofit that mobilizes about $4 billion a year to fund local programs that combat epidemics worldwide. Because grant approvals, procurement and recruitment require extensive paperwork and multiple signatures—even while up to 20% of staff are traveling—the organization faced slow, manual workflows that delayed funding and staffing for time‑sensitive programs.

The Global Fund implemented Adobe Document Cloud with Adobe Sign, integrating it with Oracle E‑Business Suite (and planning Salesforce integration) to enable mobile workflows, concurrent signing by up to 40 reviewers, and automated audit trails. The change cut recruiting evaluation sign‑off from five days to one (an 80% reduction), accelerated document turnaround and procurement processes, and helped get money and resources to communities faster.
