Want to get your small nonprofit organization up and running online quickly and for less than $10 a year? Allan Benamer over at the Non-Profit Tech Blog has written a three-part series entitled "How to get your small nonprofit up on the Web" with instructions (including screenshots) on registering a domain name, signing up for Google Apps, and having emails for your domain name routed to Google Apps.

• Part 1: How to register a domain name
• Part 2: How to redirect email to Google Apps
• Part 3: How to get Google Apps running for your nonprofit

For a full list of free services that Google has available for nonprofits, visit Google for Non-Profits. The services listed there include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Gmail
  Save time and resources with free Google-hosted email, customized for your domain
• Google Checkout
  Collect donations online and process them for free, with no monthly, setup, or gateway fees
• Google Docs
  Create and edit documents online and collaborate in real time with staff and volunteers
• Google Calendar
  Organize schedules and publicize events with shared calendars
• Google Analytics
  Understand how people find and interact with information on your website
• Google Grants
  Reach and engage your supporters through free online advertising

I don't think it's ever been easier for a small nonprofit to get going online so easily and for so little cost. Thanks, Google!
