Nonprofit starter
Get your nonprofit online, with the tools to run it.
We set up your domain and Google Workspace™ for Nonprofits, then build a website connected to it that takes donations, payments and signups, sends newsletters and shows your events.
What the starter sets up
- A domain in your organization's name
- Email, calendars and shared files, set up with Google Workspace for Nonprofits
- A website connected to both
A starting point, not a fixed bundle. We tailor every setup to what you need.
How it works
From no website to up and running.
We handle the setup in this order, so each piece is ready before the next one needs it.
- 01
Your domain
We help you choose and register a domain in your organization's name, then point it at your email and website.
- 02
Google Workspace for Nonprofits
We guide you through Google's nonprofit application, then set up email at your domain, shared drives and calendars for your team.
- 03
Your connected website
We design and build your site and connect it to your Workspace and a payment provider, so donations, signups and events land in tools your team already uses.
- 04
Handover and training
We show your team how to update the site, see donations, manage signups and add events, and stay on hand for questions.
Your website
What your website can do.
Each feature is connected to your Google Workspace, so the information lands where your team already works.
Donations
A donate page for one-time and monthly gifts through a secure payment provider. Each gift is recorded in a Google Sheet your team can see, and donors receive a receipt by email.
Works with: Payment provider, Google Sheets
Payments
Event tickets, membership dues and program fees, taken through the same payment provider and recorded alongside your donations.
Works with: Payment provider, Google Sheets
Signups
Volunteer, event and program signups on your site. Responses go straight into Google Sheets and each person gets a confirmation email.
Works with: Google Forms, Google Sheets, Gmail
Email newsletters
A signup form on every page that builds a subscriber list your organization owns, and a simple way to send updates from your own address.
Works with: Google Sheets, Gmail
Calendar of events
Your Google Calendar shown on the site. Events your team adds to the calendar appear on the website without anyone editing a page.
Works with: Google Calendar
Email and files for your team
Professional email at your domain for staff and volunteers, with shared drives so documents stay with the organization when people move on.
Works with: Gmail, Google Drive
Questions
Common questions.
Is Google Workspace really free for nonprofits?
Google offers Google Workspace for Nonprofits at no cost to organizations it considers eligible. Eligibility is set by Google and depends on your country and registration. We help you check whether you qualify and walk you through the application.
Do donations go through Google?
No. Google Workspace does not process payments. Donations and payments go through a secure payment provider connected to your website, and each one is recorded in your Google Workspace so your team has one place to look.
Can you change what's included?
Yes. The starter is what we recommend for most nonprofits, not a fixed bundle. We add, remove or swap pieces to fit what your organization needs, and agree the plan with you before work starts.
Who owns the accounts?
Your organization does. The domain, Google Workspace and payment provider accounts are set up in your name, and we are added as helpers rather than owners.
Running a business instead?
We build websites for businesses too, with clear pages about what you offer, forms that reach your inbox, and online booking and payments.
