What is .CHARITY?

.CHARITY is a cause focused domain extension that helps clearly identify a website as being related to charitable work or fundraising.

It can support trust and clarity for donors and supporters.

Who can register a .CHARITY domain?

Registration rules may vary by registrar, but in many cases, .CHARITY is intended for organizations involved in charitable, non profit, or community work.

Some providers may ask for proof that you qualify as a charity or similar organization.

Why organizations choose .CHARITY

  • Immediately signals a charitable or social mission
  • Helps build trust with donors and partners
  • Supports fundraising and awareness campaigns
  • Clear fit for non profit brands

Why you might not choose .CHARITY

  • Eligibility: Some registrars may have requirements for using .CHARITY.
  • Niche focus: Not suitable if your organization is not primarily charitable.
  • Lower recognition: Many donors are still used to .ORG.
  • Brand consistency: If you already use .ORG or another extension, switching may cause confusion.

Because of these factors, Website.com continues to focus on widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .CHARITY domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
