Setting Up Your Google Apps for Non-Profits Account

Google states on their application:

"There are two steps you must take before obtaining full access to Google's Nonprofit product offerings:

1) You must apply to participate in the Google for Nonprofits program. This involves submitting an application, which will be reviewed by Google within 30 days. Please make sure to create and sign in with an organizational Gmail Account (e.g. myorg@gmail.com) before you submit your application. We highly recommend not signing up with a personal email address, as you may want to share your account information with others in your organization so that they can access your Google for Nonprofits account. Once you have applied with this email address, it cannot be changed.

2) If accepted, you must enroll in each individual product you want to use. It will take up to a few months for us to process your enrollment request, and you will not be able to access the premium product offering for nonprofits until your enrollment has been activated. We will notify you when each individual enrollment is activated and we thank you for your patience."
