How to choose a nonprofit domain name

Donors, grant makers and the IRS will all read your name, so it should say what you do or who you serve, and the exact legal name has to match your articles of incorporation and your Form 1023 or 1023-EZ. .org is the address donors expect and trust, so register it first and add the .com to stop typos and lookalikes. Check the name against the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search and Candid, because a name close to a large charity confuses donors and can draw an objection from that charity or your state attorney general. Avoid "foundation" unless it describes your structure, since funders read it as a grantmaker. Shared, commons, neighbor and harvest words fit community work. Keep it short enough for a donation link, a check memo and a t-shirt at your first fundraiser.
