Google Workspace for Nonprofits: Your Collaborative Command Center

Imagine a world where your team communicates effortlessly, documents are always organized, and collaboration flows seamlessly – all without breaking your budget. That's the power of Google Workspace for Nonprofits and we're here to set it up for you.

We start by ensuring your eligibility for Google's generous free and discounted offerings, guiding you through the often-tricky Goodstack verification process. Then, we get down to business: establishing your professional custom domain email addresses (think info@yournonprofit.org) and configuring all the technical magic behind the scenes for reliable, secure communication.

Next, we set up your nonprofit's core Workspace applications. This means getting you fully operational with professional Gmail, creating secure and organized Google Drive and Shared Drives for all your vital documents, setting up shared Google Calendars for effortless event and meeting coordination, and configuring Google Meet for crystal-clear video conferencing. We'll also help your team master the collaborative power of Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for everything from grant writing to impact reports.

Security is paramount. We lay a strong foundation by implementing robust security practices, including essential two-step verification, and can help you explore data retention and compliance features like Google Vault. Most importantly, we provide tailored training and ongoing support. Our workshops and custom guides ensure your team feels confident and empowered using these tools daily, building lasting capacity within your organization.

Donor Automation & Engagement with Google Tools: Nurturing Your Community

Your donors are the lifeblood of your mission, and building strong, lasting relationships is crucial. Our donor automation and engagement services leverage Google's tools to help you connect more deeply, efficiently, and personally with your supporters.

We help you design and implement automated donor journeys, crafting thoughtful welcome series for new givers, engaging sequences for recurring donors, and gentle re-engagement for lapsed supporters. We empower you to streamline data collection from events and sign-ups using simple Google Forms and Sheets, and even connect your donation platforms directly to Google Sheets for effortless data capture.

This leads to truly personalized communication and stewardship. Imagine automatically sending heartfelt thank-you notes, segmenting your donor lists with ease, and exploring how your CRM can integrate seamlessly with Google data for a unified view of your supporters.

Beyond direct communication, we can unlock the potential of Google Ad Grants. We'll guide you through applying for and activating up to $10,000 per month in free advertising, then develop targeted Google Search ad campaigns to boost awareness, drive website traffic, and attract new donors and volunteers. We'll also help you measure the real impact of these ads on your fundraising goals.

Finally, we'll help you integrate with the YouTube Nonprofit Program, enabling compelling video storytelling and even setting up YouTube Giving features (like donation buttons) directly on your videos, turning viewers into vital supporters.

Gemini for Grant Writing & AI-Powered Content Creation: Boosting Your Impact

Grant writing and content creation can be time-consuming, but with Google's cutting-edge Gemini AI, you can significantly enhance your efficiency and effectiveness. We'll show you how.

For grant writing, Gemini can be a powerful assistant. We'll train your team to leverage its capabilities to quickly summarize complex grant guidelines, identify key eligibility requirements and pinpoint funder priorities.

Learn how to craft effective prompts to generate initial sections of your proposals, from project goals to compelling narratives, saving valuable time. Gemini can help refine your language, check for consistency and provide proofreading support, ensuring your proposals are polished and persuasive.

Beyond grants, Gemini excels at content generation for fundraising and outreach. We can help you apply AI to craft engaging fundraising emails, dynamic social media posts, compelling blog articles and persuasive website copy. Imagine developing personalized donor messages that resonate deeply with each supporter.

Crucially, we'll establish clear ethical AI use and review protocols. While Gemini is powerful, we emphasize the importance of human oversight to ensure all AI-generated content is accurate, authentic and truly reflects your nonprofit's unique voice and values.
