If you need an email that uses your domain, our recommendation is that you get set up on Google Workspace for Nonprofits (https://www.google.com/nonprofits/ – free) or Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/nonprofits/microsoft-365 – free for up to 10 users).

A helpful article detailing part of the process – https://thedigitalnonprofit.com/how-apply-google-nonprofits/.
Note that the below instructions may vary and can be changed at any time by Google.
