But for countless charities, churches, community organizations, NGOs and foundations all across Africa, every dollar counts. Budgets that buy software subscriptions are budgets that should go to education, healthcare, food security, youth empowerment or environmental programs.
What organizations are often not aware of is that Google for Nonprofits and Microsoft for Nonprofits provide generous email and collaboration tools for eligible nonprofits — free of charge.
So although we offer great opportunities for paid business email hosting with Truehost, we think non-profits can use every resource at their disposal. That is why we are all set to help eligible organizations get these grants, establish professional email accounts, and get online faster, for free.
How Can Non-Profits Receive Free Email Benefits?
Google for Nonprofits
Eligible organizations could obtain:
Professional Gmail accounts using their own domain
Google Meet for virtual collaboration
Google Drive cloud storage
Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Shared calendars and productivity tools
Enhanced collaboration for teams and volunteers
Many qualifying organizations have at no cost, under their Google Workspace nonprofit plan, email accounts for staff and volunteers.
Examples:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
This provides organizations with enterprise-grade communication tools that typically incur business costs.
Microsoft for Nonprofits
Some eligible organizations can benefit from Microsoft for Nonprofits:
Up to 300 free Microsoft 365 Business Basic user licenses
Professional Outlook email accounts
Microsoft Teams collaboration
Word, Excel, PowerPoint web applications
OneDrive cloud storage
SharePoint for internal collaboration
For many NGOs, schools, religious institutions and community projects, this eliminates significant operating costs.
Why Professional Email Matters for Non-Profits
A professional email address establishes trust from the get-go.
Compare:
[email protected] vs. [email protected]
- Sending a branded domain email allows organizations to:
- Look more credible to donors
- Improve fundraising trust
