At a workshop today I learned about some really wonderful tools that Google has made available for nonprofits.  Check them out at www.google.com/nonprofits. 

As Web 2.0 tools they're free and easily adaptable to websites, blogs, social networking sites. One caught my attention right away. A volunteer nonprofit I'm chairman of this year currently has a fee attached to its "shopping cart" for fee payments.  I learned that, through Google Checkout, we can provide the same service without charging a fee.

Google Calendar also looks promising for this group.  Since this nonprofit offers classes in French, Italian and Spanish during a nine month calendar, we can certainly use this tool and are certain to try it out.
