Case Study: Iowa State University Foundation achieves faster donor agreement turnaround with Microsoft Corporation and Adobe Sign

Iowa State University Foundation Keeps Donors Happy with Adobe Sign

Iowa State University Foundation needed a faster, more compliant way to manage donor gift agreements, which previously moved through paper-based approvals and could take weeks. Working with Microsoft Corporation solutions already in use, the foundation looked for a digital signature tool to streamline its donor compliance workflow and reduce delays, errors, and printing.

Microsoft Corporation helped the foundation implement Adobe Sign within existing Microsoft workflows like SharePoint, Teams, and Flow. The result was a 13-day reduction in average approval time, a 30% cut in printing, and less manual administration, allowing donations to reach recipients faster and freeing staff to focus on donors and fundraising.
