The OnePlace Giving Back program just keeps growing and growing! We are thrilled to be able to help so many non-profit and charity organizations, as well as educational organizations. Our latest addition to the Giving Back program is the North Oakland Community Charter School.
The North Oakland Community Charter School is a public school dedicated to helping children become thoughtful, informed, and inquisitive citizens. NOCCS is a vibrant, diverse learning community driven by respect for each child’s unique intelligence and history. The school’s dynamic and challenging educational approach deepens the intellectual and social capacities of each child. NOCCS was originally founded by a group of parents who were looking for an alternative to the current public school environment.

For any school system, communication is key. This is why we honor schools in our Giving Back program. Anytime we can help a school system stay more organized and improve collaboration, we will do it. That is why we are happy to announce the arrival of Richmont Graduate University into our Giving Back program!
Richmont Graduate University is a faith-based, Christian university. As a graduate school in the process of expanding, they currently have four primary areas of focus: counseling, psychology, formation and ministry.

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. Most of their workload comes in terms of supporting faculty with the creation, adaptation and implementation of course materials for online instruction. There is a team of 14 individuals who are responsible for simple projects like creating logos & graphics to video production requests for full online streaming video.

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?

Because we are based in Minnesota, it always touches our hearts a little bit more to help non-profits, charities and schools in our backyard. Joining our Giving Back program, and their cohorts at the U of M Waller Lab, is the team from the University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center.
The Academic Health Center prepares the next generation of health professionals who will improve the health of families and communities, discover and deliver new treatments and cures, and enhance the economic vitality of Minnesota's health industries.
