foldera: a cool (and free) tool for nonprofit project management

There are tons of good, free Web applications and services available now, but foldera seems especially promising for nonprofits that want to to give staff and volunteers (especially volunteer board members) an easy way to organize their communications, information, documents, and workflow.

Having first learned about foldera.com through one of its contractors, the highly regarded Web designer Emily Chang, I went on to find that it was getting great reviews from many respected bloggers. So, I've signed up for the free beta launch.

I will be curious to see how foldera can contribute not only to project management, but also to the knowledge management function in nonprofits, a function that is often overlooked as they struggle with increasing demands for their services and decreasing sources of funding.

Celeste,
As Richard already said, thanks for a wonderful post sharing your thoughts and reactions to Foldera. We've been blown away by the interest across the world, and are so looking forward to the beta release in early May. It will be great to provide you and your colleagues with tools that make a real difference.

When you do get your beta account, I hope we can chat about your experiences with project and knowledge management in nonprofits using Foldera. If there are things we can do to make the service better fit the needs of nonprofits then we are keen to learn and do. And if you want to have a conversation in advance of the release date, then I'm open to that too. You have my email details.

Regardless, keep up your good work.

Foldera was a great idea but they have closed the beta accounts they opened and are not taking any new registrations.

You might try OfficeZilla.com it has been online for a few years and has over 30,000 users, it is free like Foldera only more reliable.
