DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.donate Domain Names

Application disclosed; not delegated

.donate is a proposed generic top-level domain centred on giving, fundraising and charitable action. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.donate, and ICANN states that public application details are posted after the submission period closes. The string is not yet delegated, so it should be treated as a prelaunch extension rather than an active registry space.

.donate registrations are not available yet. Search related extensions or get a launch alert.

Frequently asked questions

Is.donate live yet?

No. Publicly disclosed material identifies.donate as an application, so it should be treated as prelaunch rather than delegated.

Who is associated with the.donate application?

Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.donate.

Can I register a.donate domain now?

Not on the basis of confirmed public registry launch data. Registration should not be assumed until delegation and availability are announced.

What is.donate best suited to?

It is best suited to giving, fundraising, charitable support and cause-led campaigns.

Is.donate only for charities?

No. It could also suit community projects, social enterprises, creators and other support-focused initiatives if it is delegated.

Why would a group choose.donate over a generic domain?

Because the extension itself communicates a clear call to action and reinforces the fundraising purpose of the site.
