.foundation domains

The .foundation domain is a mission-oriented extension for nonprofits, charitable foundations, and cause-driven organizations. A name plus .foundation signals a body dedicated to a purpose, so an organization's brand plus the extension reads as a serious, mission-led entity. Charitable foundations use it for main sites, community groups for cause hubs, and family and corporate foundations for grant and program pages, all under a domain that conveys purpose. Registration is open to anyone worldwide with no restrictions and follows standard yearly terms. Because the word carries clear, credible meaning, it forms trustworthy, on-mission names that a neutral domain cannot match, and it tells visitors at a glance that the site exists to serve a cause. For a foundation, a nonprofit, or a cause-driven organization, ending the address in .foundation puts the mission directly into the web address and frames the site as a purpose-led body.
