.org domains
A .org domain for organizations and causes
What .org is for
The idea behind .org
.org was created in 1985 for organizations. Associations, foundations and nonprofits traditionally choose it, but the rule is not enforced: today anyone can register one. That makes .org a natural fit for any project that serves a community more than it sells something.
Nonprofits and associations
A .org address tells donors and volunteers right away that an organization stands behind it.
Communities and clubs
Sports clubs, parent groups, student associations or open source communities.
Education and culture
Free courses, digital libraries, awareness campaigns and cultural initiatives.
