Google Workspace

We have a Google Workspace Nonprofit plan for our main website domain, sustainablecapitolhill.org. We use this for:

• Gmail
• Google Docs
  • The Tool Library shared drive is the main shared resource for all documentation. Anyone with a Workspace account can edit docs in this folder, and anyone else on the Internet can comment.
  • The Admin shared drive contains sensitive information like account passwords. It is only accessible by board members.
• Google Groups: we use this for emails that are handled by multiple people. When someone sends an email to a Group, it will show up in a collaborative inbox and anyone in the group can respond, either as the group or as their own email.
  • The Contact Form group receives emails sent to contact@sustainablecapitolhill.org.

Getting a Workspace Account

If you’d like to start answering emails, making significant edits to docs, or want to receive email in an “official” capacity, ask anyone in the @workspace-admins Slack group to create an account for you. For one-off docs edits, we can share it with your personal account, but we prefer that longer-term volunteers use their Workspace account instead!
