Why Professional Email Matters

Before diving into Google Workspace, let's understand why a professional email address is crucial for your organization's credibility and success.

The Credibility Gap

Compare these two email addresses:

  • ❌ miaubella_rescue@gmail.com
  • ✅ info@miaubella.org

Which one would you trust more when considering a donation? A professional email address using your own domain (like @miaubella.org) instantly boosts credibility and shows you're an established organization, not just someone with a free email account.

Building Donor Trust

In 2022, 22% of Spaniards who didn't donate cited distrust towards nonprofits as their reason. Every detail matters when building trust, and your email address is often the first impression potential donors have of your organization.

A professional email signals:

  • You take your work seriously
  • You're organized and capable
  • You can manage resources effectively
  • You're established and legitimate

Improved Deliverability

Emails from professional addresses are less likely to be flagged as spam. This means your important messages—adoption updates, fundraising appeals, volunteer coordination, emergency rescues—actually reach people's inboxes instead of being filtered out.

Brand Consistency and Recognition

Your email address should match your website domain, reinforcing your organization's identity with every message. When your email appears on flyers, social media profiles, donation forms, and your website, consistency builds recognition and trust.

Flexibility and Organization

With your own domain, you can create multiple professional email addresses:

Role-Based Addresses:

  • info@miaubella.org - General inquiries
  • adopt@miaubella.org - Adoption questions
  • volunteer@miaubella.org - Volunteer coordination
  • donate@miaubella.org - Donation inquiries

Personal Professional Addresses:

  • maria@miaubella.org
  • carlos@miaubella.org

Service-Specific Addresses:

  • canva@miaubella.org - For your Canva account
  • social@miaubella.org - For social media management tools

This organization makes it easy to manage who handles what, and if a team member leaves, you can easily transfer control of their email without changing the public-facing address.

Future-Proofing

Scenario with free email:

Your organization uses rescuecats_madrid@hotmail.com for everything. If Hotmail shuts down, changes policies, or you lose access to the account, you'd need to:

  • Create a new email address
  • Update your PayPal account
  • Change email on all social media platforms
  • Reprint all flyers and marketing materials
  • Update your website
  • Inform all contacts of the change

With professional email (info@rescuecatsmadrid.org):

  • You can change email providers without changing your address
  • All marketing materials remain current
  • Donors always know how to reach you
  • Your PayPal and other accounts remain stable
  • You're protected from provider shutdowns or policy changes

Integration with Services

Many nonprofit tools and services require a professional email address for verification or eligibility. Some platforms won't even allow sign-up with free email providers. A professional email opens doors to better tools, discounts, and partnerships.

Free Access for Spanish Nonprofits

Current Pathways (2025/2026)

As of 2025, there are two main ways Spanish nonprofits can access free Google Workspace:

Option 1: Goodstack (Recommended)

Goodstack (formerly TechSoup) now handles most nonprofit technology discounts in Europe, including Spain. This is the primary pathway for most organizations.

Website: goodstack.io

What Goodstack Offers:

  • Google Workspace for Nonprofits (free)
  • Microsoft 365 discounts
  • Other software and cloud services
  • Centralized nonprofit verification

📖 Learn More: For a detailed guide to understanding TechSoup and Goodstack for Spanish nonprofits, see our TechSoup & Goodstack Guide

Option 2: Google for Nonprofits (Direct)

You can also apply directly through Google for Nonprofits, though you'll still need nonprofit verification through a partner like Goodstack or Percent (depending on your organization type).

Website: google.com/nonprofits

Which Should You Choose?

Most organizations should start with Goodstack because:

  • Single verification unlocks multiple discounts (not just Google)
  • More comprehensive nonprofit support
  • Easier to manage all your software discounts in one place

Use Google for Nonprofits directly if:

  • You only need Google Workspace (no other tools)
  • You're already verified with Google's nonprofit program

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for Google Workspace for Nonprofits in Spain, your organization must meet these criteria:

1. Legal Nonprofit Status

✅ Eligible Organizations:

  • Registered nonprofit associations (asociaciones sin ánimo de lucro)
  • Registered with local or regional authorities
  • Hold valid nonprofit legal status in Spain

✅ Eligible Activities:

  • Animal welfare and rescue
  • TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs
  • Foster networks
  • Adoption services
  • Animal advocacy and education

❌ Ineligible Organizations:

  • For-profit businesses
  • Government entities
  • Political organizations
  • Organizations that discriminate based on protected characteristics

2. Verification with Nonprofit Partner

You'll need to verify your nonprofit status through:

  • Goodstack (primary pathway for most organizations)
  • Percent (alternative partner)

3. Valid Domain Name

You must have a custom domain name for your organization (e.g., miaubella.org, gatosdemarbella.es).

Don't have a domain yet? See our Domain Registration Guide or read the eBook Chapter 3 for step-by-step instructions. Domains typically cost €6-20 per year.

4. Agreement to Google's Policies

Your organization must:

  • Agree to Google's non-discrimination policies
  • Comply with Google Workspace terms of service
  • Use the services for legitimate nonprofit purposes

Step-by-Step Setup

This guide assumes you're starting from scratch. If you already have some pieces in place (like a domain or nonprofit verification), you can skip those steps.

Phase 1: Domain Registration (If Needed)

Skip this if you already have a domain.

  1. Choose a registrar:

    • Don Dominio (dondominio.com) - Spanish, €6-15/year
    • Arsys (arsys.es) - Spanish, €8-20/year
    • GoDaddy (godaddy.com) - International, €10-20/year

  2. Select your domain:

    • Keep it short and memorable
    • Use .org or .es for nonprofits
    • Avoid hyphens or numbers
    • Include your mission if possible (e.g., gatosdemarbella.org)

  3. Register and pay:

    • Register for multiple years to avoid losing it
    • Enable auto-renewal
    • Add privacy protection if offered

Phase 2: Nonprofit Verification

Via Goodstack (Recommended)

  1. Visit Goodstack: Go to goodstack.io and click "Get Started" or "For Nonprofits"

  2. Create Account:

    • Use your professional email if you have one (or temporary personal email)
    • Fill in organization details
    • Upload required documents

  3. Required Documents (Spain 2026):

    You'll need these exact documents:

    • NIF (Tarjeta de Identificación Fiscal) - The definitive version (not provisional)
    • Estatutos Sellados - Your statutes stamped by the Registro de Asociaciones
    • Resolución de Inscripción - Official letter confirming the association is active in the registry
    • Acta de Titularidad Real - Required for anti-money laundering compliance

    💡 Pro Tip: While not strictly required by Goodstack if you already have your PDFs, we highly recommend having a Certificado Digital de Representante de Persona Jurídica. It allows you to instantly download fresh copies of your Estatutos or Inscripción en el Registro if your paper copies are outdated or lost. This can save days of waiting for physical copies from your registry office.

  4. Wait for Approval:

    • Typically takes 1-3 weeks
    • Check email regularly (including spam folder)
    • Respond promptly to any requests for additional information

  5. Access Google Workspace:

    • Once verified, browse Goodstack's product catalog
    • Find "Google Workspace for Nonprofits"
    • Click to activate/apply

Via Google for Nonprofits (Direct)

  1. Visit Google for Nonprofits: Go to google.com/nonprofits

  2. Click "Get Started"

  3. Sign in or Create Google Account: Use a personal Gmail account to start the application (you'll set up organizational accounts later)

  4. Enter Organization Details:

    • Legal name
    • Address
    • Website (if you have one)
    • Mission statement

  5. Verify Through Partner: Google will redirect you to verify through Goodstack, Percent, or another partner

  6. Complete Verification: Follow the partner's process (same as described above)

  7. Return to Google for Nonprofits: Once verified, you'll receive an email to complete your Google for Nonprofits setup

Phase 3: Google Workspace Setup

  1. Log into Google for Nonprofits Account: Use the credentials from your approval email

  2. Navigate to Google Workspace:

    • Click on "Products" or "Google Workspace"
    • Click "Activate" or "Get Started"

  3. Enter Your Domain:

    • Type your custom domain (e.g., miaubella.org)
    • Google will guide you through verification

  4. Verify Domain Ownership:

    You'll need to prove you own the domain. Google offers several methods:

    Method 1: HTML File Upload (Easiest if you have website access)

    • Download a verification file from Google
    • Upload to your website's root directory
    • Click "Verify" in Google console

    Method 2: DNS TXT Record (Most Common)

    • Copy the TXT record provided by Google
    • Log into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Arsys, etc.)
    • Add the TXT record to your DNS settings
    • Wait 15-60 minutes for propagation
    • Click "Verify" in Google console

    Method 3: Meta Tag (If you manage website HTML)

    • Copy the meta tag from Google
    • Add to your website's <head> section
    • Click "Verify"

    Don't worry! Google provides step-by-step instructions specific to your registrar.

  5. Create Your First Admin Account:

    • Choose a username (e.g., admin or your name)
    • This will be: admin@miaubella.org
    • Set a strong password
    • Write it down securely!
    • Enable two-factor authentication immediately

  6. Set Up MX Records:

    To receive email, you need to point your domain's email to Google's servers:

    • Google provides 5 MX records to add
    • Log into your domain registrar
    • Navigate to DNS settings
    • Add each MX record with the correct priority
    • Remove any existing MX records
    • Wait 24-48 hours for full propagation

    During this time, you can still use Gmail interface with temporary forwarding.

  7. Access Admin Console:

    • Go to admin.google.com
    • Log in with your new admin account
    • This is your control center for everything

Phase 4: Configure Basic Settings

  1. Organization Profile:

    • Add organization name, logo
    • Set language (Spanish/English)
    • Configure time zone (Europe/Madrid)

  2. CRITICAL: GDPR Compliance Configuration (Spain)

    This is a mandatory step for Spanish entities handling data:

    1. Go to Consola de Administración (admin.google.com)
    2. Navigate to Cuenta → Configuración de la cuenta → Información jurídica y de cumplimiento
    3. Find Enmienda sobre el Tratamiento de Datos (DPA)
    4. Click Revisar y aceptar
    5. Under "Detalles del contacto de protección de datos", enter the name of the person in your association responsible for data (usually the Secretary or President)

    Why this matters: This tells Google Workspace that you are a Spanish entity handling data and ensures proper GDPR compliance configuration.

  3. Security Settings:

    • Require two-factor authentication for all users (recommended)
    • Set password strength requirements
    • Configure recovery options

  4. User Settings:

    • Decide how users can sign in
    • Set default profile photo visibility
    • Configure sharing defaults

Creating Professional Email Addresses

Once Google Workspace is set up, you can create email addresses for your team.

Add New Users

  1. Go to Admin Console: admin.google.com

  2. Navigate to Users:

    • Click "Users" in the left sidebar
    • Click "Add new user" button

  3. Fill in Details:

    • First name: María
    • Last name: García
    • Primary email: maria@miaubella.org
    • Secondary email (optional): Personal email for recovery

  4. Set Initial Password:

    • Use a temporary password
    • Check "Ask for password change at next sign-in"

  5. Click "Add New User"

  6. Share Credentials:

    • Send the new user their email and temporary password
    • Tell them to check spam folder for welcome email
    • Remind them to change password immediately

Best Practices for Email Structure

Role-Based Email Addresses (Recommended)

Create addresses that represent functions, not people:

AddressPurposeBest For
info@General inquiriesMain contact on website, flyers
adopt@Adoption questionsAdoption forms, adoption listings
volunteer@Volunteer coordinationVolunteer applications, shift management
donate@Donation inquiriesDonation forms, financial questions
help@ or support@Help requestsTechnical support, general help
events@Event organizationEvent registrations, RSVP
tnr@TNR program coordinationColony reports, TNR scheduling

How to create role-based addresses:

  • Create as regular users, OR
  • Create as aliases that forward to one or more actual users
  • To create alias: User settings → "Aliases" → Add alias

Personal Professional Addresses

Team members can have their own addresses:

  • maria@miaubella.org
  • carlos@miaubella.org
  • dra.lopez@miaubella.org (for veterinarian)

Naming conventions (pick one and stick to it):

  • firstname@ (if names are unique)
  • firstname.lastname@
  • firstnamelastname@

Service-Specific Addresses

Create addresses for online services you use:

  • canva@miaubella.org - Canva design account
  • social@miaubella.org - Social media management tools
  • mailchimp@miaubella.org - Email marketing
  • website@miaubella.org - Website services

Why this matters:

  • Easier to manage service accounts
  • If someone leaves, you don't lose access
  • Clear separation of services from people

Groups and Mailing Lists

Create groups for easy communication with teams:

  1. Go to Admin Console → Groups

  2. Create New Group:

    • Name: Volunteer Coordinators
    • Email: coordinators@miaubella.org
    • Description: Internal group for volunteer coordination team

  3. Add Members:

    • Add existing users to the group
    • Anyone can email coordinators@miaubella.org and all members receive it

Useful groups:

  • board@ - Board of directors
  • volunteers@ - All active volunteers
  • coordinators@ - Coordination team
  • medical@ - Veterinarians and medical team
  • transport@ - Transport volunteers

Email Delegation

Allow someone to access another person's email (useful for shared inboxes like info@):

  1. User Settings → Delegates
  2. Add delegate
  3. Delegate can read/send email as that user (they see "sent on behalf of")

Google Drive: Cloud Storage

What is Google Drive?

Cloud storage for all your files - accessible anywhere, automatically backed up, easy to share.

Each user gets 30GB (enough for thousands of documents and hundreds of photos).

Understanding Drive Ownership: Mi unidad vs. Unidades compartidas

This is the most important technical distinction for associations:

Storage TypeWho Owns ItWhat Happens When User Leaves
Mi unidad (My Drive)Individual volunteerFiles disappear when account deleted
Unidades compartidas (Shared Drives)The AssociationFiles stay - organization retains everything

⚠️ Critical Rule: Never store association files in "Mi unidad." Everything should go into a "Unidad compartida" named by department.

Creating Shared Drives (Unidades Compartidas)

This is how you ensure organizational continuity:

  1. Go to Drive: drive.google.com
  2. Click: "Shared drives" in left sidebar
  3. Click: "New" → Create shared drive
  4. Name by department: e.g., "ADOPCIONES", "CONTABILIDAD", "TNR"
  5. Add members: Invite team members with appropriate permissions

Recommended Shared Drives for animal welfare:

📁 Shared Drives (Unidades compartidas)
├── 📁 ADMINISTRACIÓN
│   ├── 📁 Board Documents
│   ├── 📁 Financial Records
│   ├── 📁 Legal Documents
│   └── 📁 Insurance

│   ├── 📁 Flyers & Posters
│   └── 📁 Social Media Assets
└── 📁 PLANTILLAS
    ├── Adoption Contract Template
    ├── Volunteer Agreement Template
    └── Donation Receipt Template

Why this matters:

  • If 10 volunteers leave, adoption contracts and photos stay exactly where they are
  • New coordinators can access all historical files
  • No data loss when team changes
  • Clear organizational structure everyone understands

Sharing Files and Folders

Share Individual Files:

  1. Right-click file → Share
  2. Add email addresses
  3. Set permission: Viewer / Commenter / Editor
  4. Click "Send"

Share Entire Folders:

  • Same process, but shares all contents
  • New files added to folder automatically shared

Get Shareable Link:

  • Right-click → Get link
  • Change "Restricted" to "Anyone with the link"
  • Set View/Comment/Edit permission
  • Copy link to share via email, WhatsApp, etc.

Permission Levels:

  • Viewer: Can view and download only
  • Commenter: Can view and add comments
  • Editor: Can edit, delete, and share

Version History

Never lose work! Drive automatically saves versions:

  1. Right-click file → Version history
  2. See all past versions with timestamps
  3. Restore any previous version
  4. See who made changes

Use case: Someone accidentally deletes important content from a document - restore from version history.

Google Drive Mobile App

Access all files on your phone:

  • Take photos and upload instantly
  • Access documents during rescue operations
  • Share files with vets or volunteers on the go

Google Sheets: Data Management

Sheets is a powerful spreadsheet tool perfect for tracking donors, animals, colonies, volunteers, and more.

When to Use Google Sheets

✅ Good for:

  • Donor lists and donation tracking
  • Colony location and cat inventory
  • Volunteer schedules and contact lists
  • Event planning and budgets
  • Inventory tracking (food, supplies)
  • Simple financial tracking

❌ Not ideal for:

  • Complex databases with hundreds of thousands of records
  • Sensitive medical records (consider dedicated software)
  • Legal compliance tracking for Ley 7/2023 (see tip below)

🇪🇸 Spain Legal Tip (Ley 7/2023): The new animal welfare law requires a "Libro de Registro" (registry book) that must be unalterable for audits. While Google Sheets is perfect for day-to-day colony tracking, for your official legal records, export your Sheet as PDF at the end of each month and sign it with your Certificado Digital. This creates a legally valid, tamper-proof record that satisfies audit requirements while still letting you work efficiently in Sheets during the month.

Donor and Donation Management Template

Create a donor tracking system:

Data Protection and GDPR

As an organization handling personal data in Spain, you must comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and Spanish data protection law.

What is Personal Data?

Personal data includes:

  • Names, email addresses, phone numbers
  • Donation history and amounts
  • Volunteer records and availability
  • Adoption application details
  • Photos of people (especially children)
  • IP addresses

Key GDPR Principles

1. Lawful Basis for Processing

You must have a valid reason to collect data:

  • Consent - Person explicitly agrees (best for most nonprofit activities)
  • Legitimate Interest - Necessary for your nonprofit mission
  • Contractual - Needed to fulfill agreement (e.g., adoption contract)

2. Data Minimization

Only collect what you actually need:

  • ✅ Need: Name, email, phone for volunteer
  • ❌ Don't need: National ID number, full medical history (unless relevant)

3. Purpose Limitation

Use data only for the stated purpose:

  • If you collect emails "to send volunteer schedules," don't use them for marketing without new consent
  • If you collect for adoptions, don't share with third parties

4. Storage Limitation

Don't keep data forever:

  • Delete old volunteer applications after 2 years if not hired
  • Delete donor data if person requests OR hasn't interacted in 5+ years
  • Exception: Keep donation records for tax/legal compliance (7 years in Spain)

5. Data Subject Rights

People have the right to:

  • Access their data (you must provide copy)
  • Rectify incorrect data
  • Erase data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Port data to another organization

You must respond within 30 days.

How Google Workspace Helps

Built-in Security:

  • Encryption - Data encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Two-factor authentication - Extra login protection
  • Access controls - Limit who sees what
  • Audit logs - Track who accessed/changed data

GDPR-Compliant:

  • Google Workspace includes Data Processing Amendment
  • Google acts as "data processor," you're "data controller"
  • Google provides tools to help you comply

Best Practices for Your Organization

1. Limit Access

Only give access to those who need it:

  • Don't give everyone access to donor database
  • Use permission levels (View/Comment/Edit)
  • Regularly review who has access

2. Use Strong Passwords and 2FA

Require for all users:

  • Admin Console → Security → Password management
  • Enforce minimum password length (12+ characters)
  • Require two-factor authentication

3. Create a Privacy Policy

Post on your website, include:

  • What data you collect and why
  • How you use it
  • Who has access
  • How long you keep it
  • How to request access/deletion
  • Contact person for data protection

Template: See GDPR Guide (coming soon) or use Goodstack resources.

4. Document Your Processing Activities

GDPR requires a record:

  • What data you collect (donors, volunteers, adopters)
  • Legal basis (consent, legitimate interest)
  • Where stored (Google Drive, Sheets)
  • Who has access
  • Retention period

Simple spreadsheet is fine for small organizations.

5. Respond to Data Requests Promptly

If someone asks for their data or requests deletion:

  • Respond within 30 days (preferably sooner)
  • Provide copy of their data in readable format
  • Delete if requested (unless legal exception applies)

6. Don't Share Data Without Consent

  • Don't sell donor lists
  • Don't share volunteer info with third parties
  • Don't post photos of people without permission

7. Secure Backups

Google Workspace automatically backs up, but:

  • If you export data (e.g., download Sheets), store securely
  • Don't email sensitive data without encryption
  • Use Google Drive sharing (safer than email attachments)

Resources

Frequently Asked Questions

Setup and Access

Q: We don't have a website yet. Can we still use Google Workspace?

A: You need a domain name, but not necessarily a full website. You can:

  1. Register a domain (€6-20/year)
  2. Set up Google Workspace with that domain
  3. Build website later

Q: How long does nonprofit verification take?

A: Typically 1-3 weeks via Goodstack. Have your documents ready (estatutos, CIF, proof of activity) to speed up the process.

Q: What if our application is rejected?

A: Contact Goodstack/Google support for reasons. Common issues:

  • Incomplete documentation
  • Organization not formally registered
  • Doesn't meet nonprofit criteria
  • Documentation in wrong format

Usually fixable - don't give up!

Q: Can we use Google Workspace if we're not officially registered yet?

A: You must be a registered nonprofit. If you're in the process of registering, wait until registration is complete before applying.

Users and Permissions

Q: How many email accounts can we create?

A: Up to 2,000 user accounts with the free nonprofit plan. (Previously 300 in some older tiers, but the current Google Workspace for Nonprofits plan allows 2,000 users - far more than most animal welfare organizations will ever need.)

Q: Can volunteers have email addresses?

A: Yes! You can give email addresses to anyone helping your organization. Just be mindful of the 300-user limit.

Q: What happens if someone leaves the organization?

A:

  1. Reset their password (they lose access)
  2. Transfer ownership of their files to another user
  3. Set up email forwarding if needed
  4. After 30 days, delete account OR keep for archive

Q: Can we have different permission levels?

A: Yes. Google Workspace has:

  • Super Admin - Full control (limit to 1-2 people)
  • Standard users - Email and Drive access
  • Custom roles - Specific permissions (e.g., can create users but not change settings)

Storage and Limits

Q: What happens if we exceed 30GB per user?

A: 30GB is quite large (~200,000 emails or thousands of documents). However, high-resolution photos from modern phones can quickly fill this space.

Smart Storage Strategy by Content Type:

Content TypeStorage ImpactRecommended Strategy
Documents/PDFsNegligibleKeep forever on Drive
High-Res PhotosHighResize before uploading OR use external backup (physical HD)
Video RescuesVery HighUpload to a private YouTube channel instead of storing raw files on Drive

To free up space:

  1. Delete old emails (archive important ones first)
  2. Compress or resize large photo files before uploading
  3. Move video content to YouTube (create private organizational channel)
  4. Archive old files to external backup annually
  5. Consider upgrading if necessary (paid plans available)

One-Minute Habit for Volunteers:

Teach your volunteers to resize photos to a maximum width of 1920px before uploading. A 10MB photo from a modern iPhone can be reduced to 500KB without losing quality for Facebook or your website. This 20:1 saving will keep your 30GB limit from ever becoming a problem.

How to resize (simple methods):

  • iPhone: Use built-in Photos app → Edit → Crop/Resize
  • Android: Google Photos → Edit → Resize
  • Computer: Use free tools like TinyPNG.com or Squoosh.app

Q: Can we share files with people outside our organization?

A: Yes! Share Drive files/folders with anyone (Gmail or not). They access via link or their own Google account.

Q: What happens to our data if we stop using Google Workspace?

A: You can export everything before closing:

  1. Use Google Takeout (takeout.google.com)
  2. Download all emails, Drive files, Calendar events
  3. Keep backup forever

Technical Issues

Q: Emails aren't arriving after setup. What's wrong?

A: Most likely MX records:

  1. Check if MX records are correct in your domain registrar
  2. Wait 24-48 hours after changing (DNS propagation)
  3. Use Google's MX record checker tool
  4. Contact Google support if still issues

Q: Can we use Google Workspace on mobile?

A: Yes! Download apps:

  • Gmail (email)
  • Google Drive (files)
  • Google Docs/Sheets/Slides (edit documents)
  • Google Meet (video calls)
  • Google Calendar (schedule)

Q: What if we forget the admin password?

A: Use account recovery:

  1. Go to account recovery page
  2. Use recovery email or phone (set these up during initial setup!)
  3. If no recovery options, contact Google support (can take several days)

Tip: Set up multiple admin accounts to avoid lockout.

GDPR and Legal

Q: Is Google Workspace GDPR-compliant?

A: Yes. Google Workspace includes Data Processing Amendment and provides GDPR-compliant tools. However, YOU (the nonprofit) are responsible for how you use the tools (what data you collect, how you use it, etc.).

Q: Can we store donor credit card information?

A: NO. Never store credit card numbers, CVV, etc. Use payment processors (PayPal, Bizum, Stripe) that handle this securely.

Q: Do we need a privacy policy?

A: Yes, if you collect any personal data. Post it on your website and reference it in forms.

Q: What if someone requests we delete their data?

A: You must comply within 30 days (unless legal exception):

  1. Delete from all spreadsheets
  2. Delete emails containing their info (or archive offline)
  3. Remove from mailing lists
  4. Remove from Volunteer Contact Sheets - This is a common oversight in Spain: check any "Volunteer Contact Sheets" in Google Sheets and remove their personal phone number, address, or other personal details
  5. If they were a user with an email account, delete or transfer ownership of their account
  6. Confirm deletion in writing

Important: When a volunteer leaves, deleting their Google Workspace account is not enough. You must also ensure their personal information is removed from any shared spreadsheets, documents, or other files where it may have been recorded.

Cost and Limitations

Q: Is it really 100% free?

A: Yes, for eligible nonprofits. No credit card required, no hidden fees. You get full access to Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms, Meet, Calendar, etc.

Q: What's the catch?

A: No catch! Google offers this as part of their corporate social responsibility. You do need to re-verify your nonprofit status periodically (usually annually).

Q: Are there paid upgrades available?

A: Yes, if you need:

  • More storage (beyond 30GB/user)
  • More participants in Meet (beyond 100)
  • Advanced admin features
  • Premium support

But most small/medium nonprofits never need upgrades.

Migration and Legal

Q: We already have a "Gmail normal" account with everything. What do we do?

A: Don't worry! You have options:

  1. Keep the old account running while you set up the new one (transition gradually)
  2. Use Google Workspace Migrate tool to move old emails to your new professional address (e.g., info@asociacion.org)
  3. Set up forwarding from old to new during transition period

Q: Is it legal to ask for DNI (National ID) in a Google Form?

A: Yes, as long as you include a basic privacy clause at the bottom of the form explaining:

  • Who processes the data (your association)
  • What purpose (Adoption/Membership/Volunteer application)
  • Legal basis (consent, legitimate interest, or contractual)

Example footer text for forms:

"Your personal data will be processed by [Your Association Name] for the purpose of 
[adoption process/volunteer management]. Legal basis: your consent. You can exercise 
your rights of access, rectification, and deletion by contacting info@yourassociation.org. 
More information in our privacy policy: [link]"

Conclusion

Google Workspace is a powerful, free toolkit that can transform how your animal welfare organization operates. From professional email that builds donor trust, to cloud storage that keeps everything organized, to collaboration tools that make teamwork seamless - these tools are designed to make your life easier so you can focus on what matters: helping animals.

Getting Started: Your Action Plan

Week 1: Setup

  • Verify nonprofit status (Goodstack/Google for Nonprofits)
  • Register domain if needed
  • Apply for Google Workspace
  • Set up admin account

Week 2: Configuration

  • Create first email addresses (info@, your name)
  • Set up folder structure in Drive
  • Enable two-factor authentication
  • Invite key team members

Week 3: Implementation

  • Create first Google Sheet (start with donors or volunteers)
  • Create first Google Form (volunteer application or contact form)
  • Set up shared calendar
  • Train team on basics

Week 4: Optimization

  • Create email templates for common responses
  • Set up email signatures
  • Organize Drive folders

Remember

Start simple. You don't need to use every tool on day one. Begin with email, add Drive for file storage, then gradually incorporate Sheets, Forms, and Calendar as you see the need.

Train your team. Tools only help if people use them. Invest time in showing volunteers and staff how these tools make their lives easier.

Stay secure. Enable two-factor authentication, use strong passwords, review access regularly. Protect the data people trust you with.

Comply with GDPR. Create a privacy policy, only collect necessary data, respect people's rights. Trust is your most valuable asset.

Ask for help. Google provides extensive documentation, video tutorials, and support. The 101 Lives community is here to help Spanish animal welfare organizations succeed.
