Google for Nonprofits

I was invited to speak at the FDMA/FANO nonprofit Summit held yesterday, 3/19, in Fort Lauderdale, FL. A room of over 100 attendees learned about all the ways they can leverage Google for free. If you were in attendance, thank you for coming. If you couldn't make it, here is the deck I presented. The highlights are, as put by my fellow presenter, Joe Laratro, (paraphrasing) "Google must have a guilty conscious because they give away a lot for free!"

They give away:
  • the ability to build your own site, for free with Google Site
  • free access/use of Google Earth to invite your donors and volunteers to engage more personally with your charity or brand
  • Google Grants will give you up to $10,000 per month to spend on Google AdWords (up to $40,000 if you exhaust that grant every month)
  • Google Docs to be your document management system possibly saving you the hassle of a costly intranet build out

And the presentation also covers how nonprofits can leverage YouTube and a bonus slide about Yahoo!

Enjoy!
