E-mail and file storage services for Non-Profit entities
-
I would go with G-Suite for Non Profit, it is pretty easy to setup and it is pretty good with Image (Google Photos), Music (Upload up to 50,000 songs of your own library for free) play it online or on any of your devices, Mail and more. Google Drive works well tool

If you are not a fully qualified NPO for MS to give it away to you, then you can just go with Zoho for your mail. You get 25 users for free.

Ah yes, I forgot about Zoho. We looked at that for something a work a while ago.
On running it myself, I agree. It wouldn't be a good business decision for the organization -- especially with the aforementioned options.

I use zoho for some users where I work.
It's a very good email system with a lot of options, I love it, and It's free (25 accounts using your Domain)

Zoho's great for this. I'm moving my church over from a hodge podge of free emails (they have 1 gmail account, 1 or 2 hotmail accounts and I think even a yahoo account??)

I use Zoho for my side business and it works great.

As part of my expanding, apparently shotgun, approach to making money, I'll be starting to work with a local church here soon. You can't know how happy I am to know that Microsoft has free and/or very cheap Office365 plans for non-profits!
-
Looks like we've been approved for the non-profit offerings of Office 365. I now have a new after-work task tomorrow. Getting this stuff configured

G-Suite for Non Profit
Unfortunately they are not offering the unlimited storage option that Education accounts are getting
I moved our non profit over to them recently (users were more familiar with it) and that is the only sticking point.

@360col upgrade storage directly in the user account rather than from the admin console to save yourself a considerable amount. A 1TB upgrade within the user account is $9.99/mo compared to $89.00/mo.

That is what we are doing. However doing that (afaik) you can't have team drives etc use the individual limit

One of the members on our board has stepped up to create and manage what will be our new website (using Wix).
Oh of all the things to do a website with:(

So an update, for some reason Business Essentials isn't listed in my portal as being available to start a subscription. I've been working with Microsoft Teir 0 (you can probably sense my frustration) support to get it available. In the meantime, I've started a Business Premium trial, just so E-mail can be flowing.

I agree; however, it's off my plate of stuff to do, and for right now, I'm ok with that.
-
@eddiejennings Oh I understand that, a person only has time for so much.
-
I would vote Office365 btw, the ecosystem of apps available combined with users already being aware of Microsoft products makes this hard to beat.
-
Well, after two weeks of back-and-forth with Microsoft support about why Office 365 Business Essentials subscription isn't available, I've decided to end the endeavor. I'll be researching other solutions.

@eddiejennings Is your band a registered 501 c3 ? They don't just give them to all non profit organizations.

They don't, thye are actually quite picky. It's anoying.
-
Yeah, we're a 501c3. According to Microsoft Support rep, everything looked fine as far as eligibility. They couldn't figure out why the subscription wasn't listed. I'm 100% fine with not using the Microsoft solution. I just figured I'd give them the first shot.
As I was telling Scott earlier tonight, the current environment is a personal drop-box account which has some folders shared to personal E-mail accounts, and mail forwarding from mailboxes with our group's domain to personal E-mail accounts. So I have essentially a greenfield here.
