Where the money from your domain goes.
donatedomainnames.org is one of the Giving Center family of donation sites. The domain is the asset; the point is what its sale pays for.
Giving Center converts what people already own into help.
Most charities ask for money. We ask for the things that are sitting unused — a house nobody lives in, a boat nobody sails, a patent nobody is licensing, a domain nobody visits. We take the asset, convert it, and direct the proceeds to people in difficulty.
Giving Center is a nationwide 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization, EIN 92-1162407. We connect people in our communities who want to help with people who need help, supporting programs, organizations and individuals as an exercise of stewardship, faith and charitable giving.
That is the whole model. It is why a name you stopped using ten years ago is worth a conversation.
The causes we support
Families facing crisis
Transitional housing, emergency shelter and direct relief for households that have lost their footing — a job, a home, a parent — and need a stable place to start again.
Children and young people
Underfunded classrooms, youth camps, orphanages and educational programs for children whose circumstances were decided for them.
Veterans
Adaptive housing, vocational training and community resources for service members working their way back into civilian life.
Medical hardship
Support for families whose finances have been overwhelmed by a serious diagnosis, so that treatment does not end in the loss of a home.
Disaster relief
Immediate shelter, utilities and essential supplies for households hit by fire, flood or storm, when the need is measured in days rather than months.
Animal welfare
Humane societies, local rescue sanctuaries and wildlife conservation work across the United States.
Other charities
We share funding, resources and equipment with other 501(c)(3) organizations rather than competing with them, so a gift here can end up supporting work we do not do ourselves.
Communities
Unused land and empty houses are put back to use as community assets rather than left to drain the neighborhood around them.
One charity, several front doors.
Each kind of asset has its own site, because the process for a house is nothing like the process for a domain name. Behind all of them is the same organization, the same staff and the same EIN.
