Google Workspace for Nonprofits

What you can do with it

Give your team organization-owned email and files with a clear administrator and handoff process.

Before you start

• Your Google for Nonprofits approval, domain registrar access, and a list of team accounts.
• A record of where email and files live today, including anything that must be migrated.

Put it to work

A suggested workflow from Coach House.

1. 1

   Choose the nonprofit edition

   Compare the $0 nonprofit edition with paid editions against your actual requirements. Follow the Workspace activation route inside Google for Nonprofits.

2. 2

   Prepare the email change

   Ask the person managing your domain to plan verification and mail routing. Pilot with a small group, preserve existing messages, and choose a migration window before changing records.

3. 3

   Set up ownership and access

   Use named staff accounts, multi-factor authentication, and a second recovery administrator. Organize shared work by team; record how files and access transfer when someone leaves.

Know before you commit

• Domain registration, migrations, support services, and paid Workspace upgrades are separate costs.
• Do not create a second organizational Workspace account until you have checked whether one already exists.
