When your mission is to serve others, every minute and every dollar count. That’s why staying up to date with tech tools that simplify operations, improve outreach, and boost productivity is a must for today’s nonprofits.
In June 2025, Google for Nonprofits unveiled a powerful new wave of AI tools and upgrades designed to help mission-driven organizations save time, communicate more effectively, and scale their impact. At Heartfelt IT, we believe access to smart, affordable tech is one of the most valuable perks a nonprofit can have—especially when that tech is backed by the power of Google.
Here’s what’s new, and how it can help your nonprofit do more good.
Smarter Docs and Emails Powered by Gemini
Google is bringing Gemini, its generative AI assistant, into tools that nonprofits already use every day—like Gmail and Google Docs. Gemini can now help you:
-
Draft donor thank-you letters faster
-
Generate volunteer onboarding documents
-
Summarize reports and meeting notes
-
Brainstorm fundraising content ideas
Think of Gemini as a virtual assistant that understands your mission and takes care of the heavy lifting so your team can focus on people, not paperwork.
Gemini for Google Sheets
Nonprofits run on data—event registrations, donor databases, survey responses, and more. The new Gemini integration in Google Sheets helps your team:
-
Visualize trends instantly
-
Generate pivot tables and charts
-
Spot anomalies or key figures
-
Get formula suggestions and automation tips
Whether you're analyzing program data or building your next budget, Gemini reduces hours of spreadsheet wrangling into minutes of insight.
AI-Powered Search Assistance
Nonprofits often store mountains of information in Google Drive, from case studies to grant templates. With Gemini’s improved Search Assist, staff can ask natural language questions like “Show me the last event proposal we submitted” or “Find that document with last year’s outreach budget.” No more clicking through endless folders.
Integration with Google Ads Grants
Google’s updates also include smarter AI suggestions for nonprofits using Google Ad Grants. These AI tools help refine your ad copy, test keywords, and optimize campaigns so you can attract more donors, volunteers, and community engagement—without wasting time or funds.
Why This Matters for Small to Mid-Sized Nonprofits
These tools aren’t just bells and whistles—they’re practical solutions that free up time, reduce burnout, and help teams stay focused on their mission. And because they're part of the Google for Nonprofits program, eligible organizations get access at little to no cost.
At Heartfelt IT, we help nonprofits integrate tools like these into their daily workflows and make the most of the benefits big tech can offer small teams. Whether we’re providing secure laptops or helping organizations onboard cloud platforms, we believe the right tools can transform the way nonprofits operate.
Final Thought
Google’s newest AI offerings aren’t just tech upgrades—they’re game changers for the nonprofit sector. With Gemini and enhanced search, writing, and data tools, even the smallest teams can work smarter and make a bigger impact.
