About the Article
This article critically analyzes the role of collaboration platforms—such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Google Workspace—in enhancing non-profit efficiency, communication, and coordination. It evaluates their features, advantages, and limitations while considering organizational needs, budgets, and infrastructural realities. Emphasis is placed on criteria for platform selection, strategies for integration into workflows, and challenges of user proficiency and resistance to change. Practical strategies, including digital literacy training, structured onboarding, and technical support, are identified as essential for sustainable adoption. By bridging theoretical perspectives with applied insights, the article highlights how collaboration platforms can advance inclusivity, productivity, and mission-driven outcomes in the non-profit sector.
