This document summarizes a presentation by Craig Grella of OrgSpring about the benefits of cloud computing for nonprofits. It discusses what cloud computing is, how it provides efficiencies of scale and low overhead compared to traditional networks. Several cloud storage options like Google Drive, iCloud, and Dropbox are presented along with their pricing. Examples are given of how nonprofits can use the cloud to collaborate remotely, access client information from mobile devices, and complete legal documents and fundraising online with minimal resources. Attendees are provided with follow-up cloud computing resources from OrgSpring.
