Question need free forum and chat script

i am looking for a free message board script as well as a chat room script. this is for a non-profit organization, so funds are limited. obviously, i would like vBulletin, but as far as i can tell it is not free. i have done some searching and have found tons of freebies, but i was wondering if there were any that anyone recommended, as i have never set up anything like this before. your help is much appreciated

thanks
craig

http://smartor.is-root.com/ has a chat box mod for phpbb 2.0.6, you can see an example of it at my forum towards the bottom at the Who Is Online table.

thanks, the group that asked me to do this just hooked me up with their plan info and it does not include mysql support, so that is out, as with phpBB. i did find a forum that uses cgi and it works pretty well. it is called cutecast. funny name, but it was easy to set up and it will do what we need. thanks a lot for all of the help
