Organize resources in one place
Are you losing track of important documents stored in different places?

To find specific content, search in Drive and find the document or folder you want in seconds. Use Gemini in Drive to summarize files for you.

Create powerful presentations
Learn how to design, build, and present powerful presentations. See Tips for great presentations. If you work with remote team members, share your screen during a Google Meet video meeting to present ideas. You can even record the meeting to send to people after.
Learn how
Make funding proposals pop
Create effective grant proposals using Docs. Increase the professional look and feel of your proposal by adding pictures or embedding maps. Share your document and get real-time feedback from your coworkers through targeted comments. There’s no need for multiple drafts—use the revision history to see who made changes and when, or to revert to earlier versions. Finally, export the proposal directly to PDF to create a polished look and feel.
Learn how
Connect across time zones
Use Calendar to create and share a team calendar with co-workers, volunteers, and board members to facilitate scheduling. Connect face-to-face using Google Meet to keep personal connections strong. Take advantage of the seamless mobile options for Google Workspace products to ensure you stay connected to work, even when you’re traveling.
Learn how
Simplify email management
Looking at an inbox with too many unread messages? Use filters and labels in Gmail to organize incoming messages based on sender or content, and never miss emails about grant proposals, donors, or core program work again. Take advantage of templates in Gmail to reduce the time you spend on common email replies. Use Gemini in Gmail to help you write or refine other emails.
Learn how
Onboard new staff or volunteers
Find yourself reinventing the onboarding process for every new employee or volunteer? With Sites, you can create an internal or external website to host all the relevant information to share with your recruits. Embed Docs from Drive. Capture contact information or certify the completion of training in Forms. Add new people to relevant Groups (finance, volunteers, and so on) to give them access to role-specific materials and email lists.
Learn how
Streamline volunteer recruitment & communications
If you need to to recruit volunteers for an upcoming event, use Forms to create a questionnaire to capture information. Post the form on your website or send a link to the form to collect responses. Export responses to Sheets to filter data and analyze trends. Finally, use Groups to create a new group for your volunteers to communicate and collaborate. Send out a welcome email with a link to your volunteer website, built using Sites.
Learn how
Train remote employees or volunteers
If you need to train people based in different locations, create a one-stop-shop training website using Sites. Store all your onboarding tasks, organization policies, and other documents in Drive or shared drives. Then, embed the files in the training site. Conduct a live training class across the globe using Google Meet to save time and travel costs. Record your training and post it to your YouTube channel to reach your volunteer base.
Learn how
Keep your organization’s files when people leave
Find yourself scrambling to get access to grants, data, or reports owned by an employee or volunteer who left your organization? Use shared drives to create shared spaces where different teams can easily store, search, and share content that will remain in the shared drive, even if people leave your organization.
Learn how
Deploy an end-to-end marketing campaign
Create a marketing campaign overview using Docs and share it with internal stakeholders. Then, spread your message. Eligible nonprofits have access to Ad Grants, a program that provides in-kind advertising from Google Ads. Set up YouTube and launch video content to tell your nonprofit’s story. Promote your campaign on your organization’s Sites page—encourage members to share innovative ideas and get involved through embedded Forms.
Learn how
Use generative AI at work
If your organization supports it, you can use the artificial intelligence add-on, Gemini for Google Workspace. Use Gemini directly in Google Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Vids, and Gmail, to help you write, visualize, organize, and connect. You can also use Gemini as a standalone experience at gemini.google.com.
