New Online Portal: Google for Non-Profits
Google has consolidated many of its available services for nonprofit organizations at Google for Non-Profits
, including products such as:
- Gmail, which many nonprofits have found to be a good alternative to having to manage Microsoft Exchange
- Checkout, which is offering online transactions with no processing fees through the end of 2008
- Documents, an option to Microsoft Word which facilitates online document collaboration
- Analytics, which offers easy to understand web statistics and I’ve found to offer most of the functionality of products such as Webtrends
- Grants, which provides free online advertising for nonprofits – in very generous amounts
These are wonderful products which every nonprofit, whatever its size, should be taking advantage of. Also take a look at Google Sites, which is a recent addition to Google’s portfolio and provides a lighter version of Microsoft Sharepoint.
