New AI features coming to Workspace for Nonprofits
For more than a decade, nonprofits have been able to advance their missions and save on technology costs with the help of Google Workspace for Nonprofits, a suite of collaboration apps and services that includes Google Calendar, Google Meet and a custom Gmail domain. In the background, predictive and analytical AI have long been a core part of these products’ abilities, like helping to spot phishing attempts or detecting spam. And now, new AI-related benefits available to all Workspace for Nonprofits users can help you meet your goals and drive social impact:
- Keep client and donor data secure: Workspace for Nonprofits users accessing the Gemini app now have enterprise-grade data and privacy protections, which means chats and uploaded files will not be reviewed by human reviewers or otherwise used to improve generative AI models. These same protections are available on NotebookLM for Workspace for Nonprofits.
- Stay compliant with board and sector regulations: Gemini for Workspace and the Gemini app are among the first generative AI productivity solutions to attain a comprehensive set of safety, privacy and security certifications, including SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001/17/18, ISO 27701, ISO 9001, ISO 42001, GDPR, and can help you meet HIPAA compliance. For example, a life sciences nonprofit could use Gemini for Google Workspace to conduct research, while managing their HIPAA compliance requirements. Learn more about our privacy commitments, data protections and more in the Google Workspace Privacy Hub.
- Save on technology costs with significant nonprofit discounts: Nonprofits can continue to use the $0 per month Workspace for Nonprofits plan to access the Gemini app and NotebookLM. Or they can upgrade to an advanced Google Workspace edition to access more generative AI features, including Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet and more, as well as custom AI experts, Gems, and higher limits in NotebookLM Plus. Nonprofits can get discounts up to 75% off the standard price, starting at $3.50 per user per month, directly in their Workspace Admin console.
Google AI makes it even easier to save your nonprofit time and help you focus on what matters most. For inspiration and practical examples, explore the Get Time Back website, where you can find a responsible AI guide, nonprofit-specific prompt library and fundraising and marketing how-to videos. You can learn more about features in advanced editions of Workspace on the Workspace blog.
Also, check out how nonprofits already use Gemini for Workspace to transform their immediate and long-term strategy and operations:
- Climate Ride used Gemini to accelerate a website rebrand by months and experiment with new ways to make annual campaign emails more engaging.
- Dutch Bamboo created a custom "research digester" Gem capable of analyzing complex publications, synthesizing key trends and providing actionable insights, enabling people with no programming experience to harness the power of AI.
- Erika’s Lighthouse accelerated content and curriculum development with Gemini by generating ideas for program names, concepts and themes, which freed up time to focus on furthering their nonprofit mission.
- Latino Center of the Midlands implemented Gemini as a built-in AI assistant to answer employee questions, help brainstorm and reduce decision-making time, enabling its team to spend more time interacting with the community.
AI is foundational to the future of work and can be a powerful tool for social impact.
