All organizations have a need for stronger organization and collaboration. Nowhere is this more true than inside charity organizations. This is why we continue to offer OnePlace free of charge to non-profits and charities.

We’ve seen a huge increase in the amount of schools using OnePlace lately, and we absolutely love it! With a new school year right around the corner, we are feeling the back to school hype as well, and are continuing to offer OnePlace free of charge to schools and educational organizations as well as non-profits.
The newest addition to our Giving Back program is Valencia Community College of Orlando, FL. Their Learning Technology & Alternate Delivery team provides collegewide support to all faculty, staff and students for integrating technology into the curriculum.

Over the years, OnePlace has acquired many accounts from schools, either in our area or around the country. These school accounts range from managing offices of communications to managing collaboration in an MBA-level business class. Some of our school accounts include MidAmerica Nazarene University, and the University of Minnesota’s Waller Lab and Academic Health Center.
Even before we started offering OnePlace free of charge to non-profits and schools, we saw a large group of our accounts coming from schools and educational institutions. It’s interesting to wonder what exactly could be causing these schools to find OnePlace and to start using OnePlace. Is it because it’s easy to use? Is it because it fits well with their processes? Or is it just because smarter people use OnePlace?
