Microsoft has always offered great discounts for (most kinds of) non-profits and Office 365 is no different. Entry level plans that include the full Office desktop suite start at $2/mo/user. The best plan is (currently) Office 365 E3 at $4.50/mo/user. You get so much with that package.

They also offer a 'donation' plan for up to 300 users. That one's completely free and includes email and online versions of Word/Excel/etc. Great offering.

Nonprofits need a safe environment for their customers or employees, identity protection is the one of the most important factors to consider when choosing an app or service to use in their organizations, as a result, most of the popular social network services and apps are not the best choice. Princle One is a new app designed with user identity and data privacy as the core requirements.

Princle One supports very large groups and presents group discussions in threaded structures that are easy to understand, follow, and search through. The powerful group admin functions give organizers efficient tools for managing topics, surveys, events, alerts, invitations, batch invite, interactive notifications, social sharing and much more. These are all useful functions for nonprofits to use in their organizations.

Zenhub.io fits what you are looking for. It's basically what the product description said ⸺  "project management inside GitHub- free for open source (or academic) projects. "
 It is simply a  tool for managing tasks boards, communicating with teams etc.   like any other paid application out there with a more simplistic approach. Moreover, customizable to suit any workflow. It was essential for all my previous works with my team, so i really recommend this product! 👐😄
