Hi Jennifer,
There are some good OpenSource project management applications.
One is ProjectPier (http://www.projectpier.org/).  It's not the prettiest
thing on the planet, but it is easy to install, and has a lot of features.

For some other options, see:
Top 20 Project Management Tools

Need a Basecamp Alternative?

If you only need something simple, Google Apps (using sites/docs) can also
work, especially with a plugin that makes Gantt charts from a shared
spreadsheet (see http://www.gganttic.com/).
