Add new people to relevant Groups (finance, volunteers, and so on) to give them access to role-specific materials and email lists.
If you need to to recruit volunteers for an upcoming event, use Forms to create a questionnaire to capture information. Post the form on your website or send a link to the form to collect responses. Export responses to Sheets to filter data and analyze trends. Finally, use Groups to create a new group for your volunteers to communicate and collaborate. Send out a welcome email with a link to your volunteer website, built using Sites.
If you need to train people based in different locations, create a one-stop-shop training website using Sites. Store all your onboarding tasks, organization policies, and other documents in Drive or Team Drives. Then, embed the files in the training site. Conduct a live training class across the globe using Hangouts Meet to save time and travel costs. Record your training and post it to your YouTube channel to reach your volunteer base.
Find yourself scrambling to get access to grants, data, or reports owned by an employee or volunteer who left your organization? Utilize Team Drives to create shared spaces where different teams can easily store, search, and share content that will remain in the Team Drive, even if people leave your organization.
Create a marketing campaign overview using Docs and share it with internal stakeholders. Then, spread your message. Eligible nonprofits have access to Ad Grants, a program that provides in-kind advertising from Google Ads. Set up YouTube for Nonprofits and launch video content to tell your nonprofit’s story. Promote your campaign on your organization’s Google+ page by encouraging members to share innovative ideas and get involved.
