# Public Interest Registry applies for new charity-themed top level domains

Public Interest Registry, the nonprofit behind .org, applied for 14 new top level domains in the 2026 round, including .aid, .cause, .donate, .hope, .impact, .mission, .nonprofit and .organization, with backup strings chosen for six. The move would expand its existing portfolio of charity-related extensions such as .ngo, .foundation, .charity, .gives and .giving.

## in plain words

The group that runs .org website addresses wants to create new website endings related to charity and nonprofit work, like .donate and .hope. It has applied for 14 of these new endings. It already owns similar ones such as .ngo and .charity from past rounds.
