Problems it solves

“We have no budget and need professional email at our own domain”“We're sharing documents by email attachment and nobody knows which version is current”“Our volunteers use their personal Gmail and I can't control access to our files”“I need free video meetings for our board”“Our team needs shared calendars and a shared drive for staff and volunteers”“I want to try AI tools without paying”“I'm not sure whether to choose Google or Microsoft for our charity”

About Google Workspace for Nonprofits+

Google Workspace is a cloud suite of email at your own domain, shared Drive storage, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Meet video calls, Chat and Forms. Verified nonprofits get a no-cost nonprofit-only edition (with 100 TB of pooled storage and the Gemini app and NotebookLM) or deep discounts on paid editions. Choose it if your team works mostly in a web browser, shares documents live and uses phones and Macs as much as Windows PCs.

Pricing: Nonprofit-only edition: US$0 per user per month (100 TB pooled storage, Meet up to 150 participants, up to 2,000 users). Paid nonprofit editions: Business Standard US$3.50 and Business Plus US$6.16 per user per month, with Enterprise at 70%+ off. Commercial Business Starter is about US$7 per user per month on annual billing (third-party figure).
