In today’s digital landscape, collaboration, communication, and data security are central to a nonprofit’s success. Heartfelt IT offers comprehensive Google Workspace services tailored for mission-driven organizations—making it easier to work smarter, more securely, and more efficiently.

What Google Workspace Offers Nonprofits

Google Workspace is a cloud-based productivity suite that brings together Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Meet, and more—all under a single domain and secure administrative control.

Through Google for Nonprofits, eligible organizations can gain access to free or deeply discounted versions of Workspace’s tools, helping them unlock professional email, cloud storage, collaboration features, and administrative controls designed for nonprofits.

    Workspace grows with your team—whether you have 5 or 500 users. And nonprofit discounts make it financially sustainable.

  • High-Level Administrative Controls
    Workspace allows granular controls over sharing, user access, security policies, and audits—ensuring governance and compliance.
