New Online Portal: Google for Nonprofits

Google has consolidated many of its available services for nonprofit organizations at Google for Non-Profits, including products such as:

• Gmail, which many nonprofits have found to be a good alternative to having to manage Microsoft Exchange
• Checkout, which is offering online transactions with no processing fees through the end of 2008
• Documents, an option to Microsoft Word which facilitates online document collaboration
• Analytics, which offers easy to understand web statistics and I've found to offer most of the functionality of  products such as Webtrends
• Grants, which provides free online advertising for nonprofits - in very generous amounts

These are wonderful products which every nonprofit, whatever its size, should be taking advantage of.  Also take a look at Google Sites, which is a recent addition to Google's portfolio and provides a lighter version of Microsoft Sharepoint.
