Case Study: International Documentary Association streamlines application workflows and boosts productivity with Jotform

How a Nonprofit Supports Documentary Filmmaking With the Help of JotForm

The International Documentary Association (IDA), a Los Angeles–based nonprofit that supports documentary filmmakers, needed a more organized, efficient way to collect fiscal sponsorship and employment applications without endless follow-up or paperwork. To solve this, IDA turned to Jotform to capture detailed project information, budgets, file uploads, and signed agreements through a single online application.

Jotform’s customizable, branded forms let IDA staff build and edit applications without coding, accept uploads and e-signatures, and route data digitally, eliminating printed forms and reducing follow-up questions. Since adopting Jotform in 2010, the organization reports a major boost in productivity and smoother application processing, freeing the team to focus on programming, fundraising, and supporting filmmakers.
