What is .GIVING?

.GIVING is a purpose driven domain extension that highlights generosity, support, and social impact.

It can be used for one time campaigns or ongoing giving programmes.

Who can register a .GIVING domain?

Anyone can typically register a .GIVING domain.

It is a strong choice for charities, non profits, community groups, and companies running donation drives.

Why organizations choose .GIVING

  • Immediately connected to donations and support
  • Good for campaigns and year round giving
  • Emotional and positive tone
  • Works for both charities and corporate social responsibility efforts

Why you might not choose .GIVING

  • Campaign specific: It may feel tied to fundraising rather than your full mission.
  • Lower recognition: Donors may be more familiar with .ORG or .COM.
  • Brand clarity: If your work goes beyond giving, another extension might fit better.
  • Extra management: Some organizations may prefer to keep all content under one main domain instead of separate campaign domains.

Because of these considerations, Website.com often recommends using core extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .GIVING domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
