    About .giving domain

    .giving is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) that emerged from ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program, with its delegation to the Root Zone occurring on 6 August 2015. The extension was originally applied for by Giving Limited, the company behind the JustGiving fundraising platform, which operated the registry with back-end services provided by ARI Registry Services. In October 2022, the registry was transferred to Public Interest Registry (PIR), the non-profit organization also responsible for operating .org. PIR officially launched .giving on January 20, 2023, repositioning the extension with a focus on online fundraising and philanthropic activity.

    Who can register .giving domain

    .giving is a brand TLD that is not available for public registration through commercial registrars. Under the original registry agreement, all domain names within .giving are reserved exclusively for use by the registry operator, its internal departments, and its designated affiliates. Third parties, including independent organizations or individuals, cannot register .giving domains. Any new domain registrations within the TLD must be pre-approved internally and must align with the registry operator's published strategic goals.

    How to register .giving domain

    Because .giving is a closed brand TLD allocated exclusively to the registry operator and its affiliates, it is not distributed through commercial registrars to the general public. Domain names under .giving are registered internally by authorized staff members within the registry organization, with a designated Marketing Manager responsible for pre-approving all registrations. The allocation process is governed by an internal Acceptable Registration and Use Policy, and all registered names must further the strategic goals of the registry operator. A monthly audit of domain name transactions is conducted to verify that registrations were properly authorized and that usage complies with internal policy.

    Typical uses of .giving domain

    The .giving extension is used exclusively by the registry operator and its affiliated entities to support online fundraising and philanthropic initiatives. Rather than serving a broad public audience, domains under this TLD are deployed to represent specific campaigns, products, services, departments, and corporate functions tied to the operator's giving-focused platform. The extension provides a cohesive, authoritative online identity that reinforces trust with users engaging in charitable activities. By consolidating brand presence under a single, purpose-built TLD, the operator can clearly signal the nature of its mission across different markets and initiatives.

    Tips for registering .giving domain

    • Because .giving is a closed brand TLD, it is not available for purchase or renewal through any commercial registrar, and no public pricing or registration terms apply.
    • All registrations within .giving must be pre-approved by an authorized internal staff member before they can proceed, meaning no self-service registration path exists.
    • A monthly audit of all domain name transactions is conducted internally to ensure that registrations remain authorized and compliant with the registry's Acceptable Registration and Use Policy.
    • The registry operator retains the right to revoke any domain name that no longer aligns with the organization's published strategic goals or that was registered without proper authorization.

    Who operates .giving domain?The registry for .giving domains is Public Interest Registry, administered by Public Interest Registry (PIR).
    Who can register a .giving domain?

    .giving is a closed brand TLD, meaning it is not open to the general public, independent nonprofits, or any third parties outside the registry operator's organization. Eligibility is limited to the registry operator itself, its internal departments, and entities formally designated as affiliates under the registry agreement. There is no application process or documentation pathway for outside organizations to obtain a .giving domain.

    Can I transfer a .giving domain between registrars?

    Because .giving domains are not registered through commercial registrars and are not available to the public, standard inter-registrar transfer processes do not apply. The registry agreement explicitly prohibits the sale, distribution, or transfer of any .giving registration to any third party that is not a recognized affiliate of the registry operator. Any movement of domain management within the organization would be handled through internal administrative processes rather than a standard EPP transfer flow.

    Can independent charities or nonprofits apply to register a .giving domain?

    No. Despite the extension's philanthropic associations, .giving is not an open or community-based TLD. The registry agreement restricts all registrations to the operator and its affiliates, and there is no public sunrise period, landrush, or general availability phase through which outside organizations could obtain a name. Nonprofits and charities seeking a purpose-aligned domain extension would need to look at other options such as .org or .charity.

    Is .giving subject to standard ICANN dispute resolution policies like UDRP?

    As a brand TLD with no public registrations, .giving is an unlikely target for third-party domain disputes under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), since all names are held by the registry operator itself. However, the registry agreement with ICANN still subjects the operator to ICANN's standard compliance framework, including obligations around accurate WHOIS data and adherence to consensus policies. Any trademark-related concerns would need to be raised through ICANN's standard registry compliance channels rather than a traditional UDRP filing.

    What happens if a .giving domain is used outside of approved purposes?

    The registry operator maintains an internal Acceptable Registration and Use Policy that governs how .giving domains may be deployed. A designated Marketing Manager conducts monthly audits to verify that all active domain names remain compliant with this policy and that their use continues to align with the operator's strategic goals. Domains found to be in violation of the policy or registered without proper authorization are subject to revocation by the registry.
