If your organization is mainly used as an email distribution list, we recommend that you use Google Groups for your organization. Google Groups is functionally a moderated email list. You can have a group created and then you can manage the list, either subscribing members or allowing subscriptions, allowing one way or two way discussion/posting, etc. Learn more about Google Groups at: http://its.uncg.edu/iSpartan/Groups/.
If your organization is mainly used for sharing documents, Google Drive or Box might be better alternatives. For more information, see: http://its.uncg.edu/ispartan/Drive/ and http://its.uncg.edu/box/. The main differences here are that Google Drive offers unlimited storage and synchronous collaborative editing of documents, whereas Box has a 50Gb quota and is rated to store data classified by UNCG up to minimal, low and moderate risk.
If you use your organization as a website, Google Sites allow you to create a custom website which can be used to post material, including announcements. Individuals can subscribe to the site, and thus receive notifications when the site has been updated. Learn more at: http://its.uncg.edu/iSpartan/Sites/.
If you do wish to have an organization in Canvas, visit this request form: http://its.uncg.edu/Canvas/Organization_Request. A Canvas organization may work best for you if you want to maintain certain LMS tools such as discussion boards and quizzes/surveys.
