Google workspace is becoming more and more relevant in today’s organizations. Whether the organization is your school, business, or non-profit, it is becoming more popular in today’s world, and for very good reasons. Not only does an organization get more security and some custom tools, but they can get plenty more benefits that could be helpful to their organization, and makes it much easier to navigate and do their work.

How does Google Workspace Differ from Regular Gmail?

Google Workspace differs from regular gmail in many different ways. One would not only receive additional business-grade services not included in the free gmail accounts, but also receive additional security options like two-factor authentication. Some of the benefits of Google Workspace are unlimited custom emails, such as “[email protected],” and twice the amount of cloud storage between your email and Google Drive. The organization can also receive free 24/7 support via phone or email, interoperability with Microsoft Outlook and as mentioned earlier two-factor authentication, amongst many more. 

What happens when an organization signs up to Google Workspace?

When an organization signs up for Google Workspace, they get access to several integrated applications that work seamlessly together. One example is, they could get an invite to a gathering and that could be easily converted into Google Calendar. Another example is when someone makes comments on Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides, collaborators get to see others comments and automatically receive email alerts. 

Many Google Workspace users have found that they are able to eliminate their current software or softwares and use Google Workspace’s features all-in-one. One can rely on the Google Workspace to create various different files, such as text documents, spreadsheets, and some presentations. One can work on any of these features all in real time with other collaborators and save it to your Google Drive. Unlike traditional desktop applications, there is no software to install. Anyone can access their Google Drive or Workspace from anywhere from a phone, tablet, and desktop. Google is also compatible with Microsoft Office programs. One can also migrate their existing mail to Google Workspace.

This helps both, students or volunteers, and non-profit organizations. It helps students and volunteers by giving them more experience with marketing and they are able to help a cause. Non-profits get use of this and more than likely are able to use their Google Ads Grant or put it to good use. 

Google Workspace and Non-Profits

A non-profit gets more validation with their organization’s name behind the “@” symbol. Several sites for non-profits even ask for a non-profit email address to get access to them. 

The features and programs that non-profits tend to find more useful are the workspaces and how Google Workspace helps distribute the workload. Anyone can use Google Workspace as a great tool for communication vs other programs out there, and most of all it’s secure. 

Perhaps one of the things about Google Workspace that is a bit difficult to use for some non-profits is getting used to the differences between the emails. Once they have their own organization email and their old one, there could be some confusion as to which one to use. 

Google As A Whole

All-in-all, Google Workspace, and their features amongst other tools and programs that they have are helpful to non-profit organizations, or anyone with a business. The exception being that if your organization is a for-profit business, the Google Ads Grants, campaigns, and such will not be a benefit available for you, since that is strictly only for non-profit organizations; you are welcome to read all about it on their webpage.
