Product• Why Google Apps for Education?

Registered non-profits with current 501(c)(3) status in the U.S. now qualify for Google Apps Nonprofit Edition.

We'll verify your 501(c)(3) status using your 9-digit Employee ID Number, and contact you about the status of your Edition upgrade via email.

• What if I already have a Google Apps account? If you already have a Google Apps account and you have 501(c)(3)
