Google Workspace Set Up
Project details
What we need
- Setup and implementation of Google Workspace account and specific apps
- Training for up to 5 staff on how to configure and use Google's apps
- Note: Google Apps for Nonprofits (Google Workspace) is free for qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and includes 30GB of storage across Gmail and Google Drive
Additional details
Top priority for us is to move our email domain moved from Godaddy to gmail. Next priority is to set up google drive so we can use instead of our Box drive.
What we have in place
- We currently have good knowledge of our existing environment, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the ability to dedicate time, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,926 , allowing us to substantially increase our effectiveness in developing and delivering the programs in support of the high risk children in Oakland's poorest neighborhoods.
Many of our internal processes are fragmented - we use godaddy for email, Box drive for cloud storage, and no calendars are shared. The godaddy email is also error prone. The combination of all of this is creating significant inefficiencies. We believe having a full g-suite implementation would substantially improve our collaboration and efficiency across operations and our programs - transferring directly to helping us scale the number of children we can support.
Project plan
Our mission
Faith Network's mission is to give hope to vulnerable children in East Bay schools by surrounding them with a caring community, igniting their innate potential and helping them to develop academic and life skills crucial to their growth and fulfillment. The goal is to prepare today’s youth for a life of serving others and contributing positively to their communities.
What we do
We provide an array of services to public schools in low-income neighborhoods but concentrate our efforts on four targeted programs. Succeeding by Reading helps improve the reading skills of 2nd & 3rd grade students through direct intervention with its Excel Reading Clinics and supports students through library services and parent engagement. Science Horizons gives low-income elementary and middle school students unique hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering and math; Health4Kids distributes thousands of nutritious weekend food bags yearly to low-income children with limited access to food. CareerBridge helps close the opportunity gap by providing low-income students at West Oakland high schools with individual mentorship, life skills, academic enrichment and internship with stipend.
Testimonials
We hit the jackpot with Marcin! He went above and beyond to help us migrate our email service to gmail. He was very knowledgable, extremely thoughtful, and exceeded our expectations. The transition was smooth and complete thanks to him.
It was great working with the Faith Network team. I really miss weekly calls during which we were discussing the requirements and the project plan. The whole team was really helpful during the project and thanks to this the project turned out to be a success - at least in my own humble opinion. Thank you Chelsea, Jim and Pearl.
