Thanks for raising the opportunity of the .NGO and .ONG domain names. I wasn’t aware of the OnGood Directory so thanks also for sharing info about that opportunity!

Appreciate you sharing your wisdom, Megan!

These numbers do illustrate a VBB. Something that nonprofits may want to consider in order to help their orgs be visible and found EASILY online is to register the new .NGO or .ONG domain name for their organizations. These are validated domains, meaning that only those nonprofits, charities and NGOs that go through a validation process are able to register them — similar to how .edu, .gov and .mil work in the U.S. .NGO and .ONG serve as visual indicators for donors, letting them know that a particular organization has been vetted, and the donor can feel secure in knowing that they trust where their donation money is going. One other great value proposition is that registration of .NGO and .ONG grants a nonprofit a listing in the OnGood directory — set to be the first GLOBAL listing of nonprofits, charities and NGOs worldwide. Within OnGood there are opportunities for the socially conscious organizations to communicate with one another and with donors, and to fundraise directly on their own profile pages. The goal of these new validated domains is to create a special space online for nonprofits, and OnGood is being developed to help make these organizations self-sustaining for years to come.
