Quick tip for your nonprofit if it uses Google Workspaces (formerly Google Drive)

At the small Habitat for Humanity affiliate where I work, someone long before me set up a Google account at the organization just for photos – photos@OURNAME…. It was SUCH a smart thing to do and I wish I could thank the person! It makes it so easy to tell employees, board members, volunteers and ReStore customers where to send the photos they take, and it’s easy to save those photos from the gmail account to the Google photos space.

That same person also set up a Google account just for volunteer management – volunteers@…. and we use the email not only to give out to anyone that wants to volunteer, but also, we can use (and share) the associated Google calendar to show all staff when there are volunteer events.

Now if I could just get all staff to log into YouTube and subscribe to our agency YouTube channel and “like” each of our videos, so we could increase the number of people who saw them!

If you have benefited from this blog or other parts of my web site and would like to support the time that went into researching information, developing material, preparing articles, updating pages, etc. (I receive no funding for this work), here is how you can help.
