One area where nonprofits frequently incur a startup fee in their web projects is the domain name. To be visible online, your website must be associated with a domain name; this is also essential in projecting a professional, reputable presence for your organization online.Through partnerships with domain registrars, Grassroots.org is able to offer domain name registrations free to nonprofit organizations. This means it is now possible to begin your website project with no cash expense!
What's the catch?
Domain names are registered for specific periods of time, after which they need to be renewed. After the first free year, you'll need to renew your domain name with our registrar or the registrar of your choice. Domains are usually $7 - $17 per year to renew.
Wait, so who owns the domain?
You do! For as long as you keep your registration current, you'll retain full legal ownership of your domain name. Grassroots.org does not own your domain name for you; in fact, we make every effort to make sure you don't forget to keep it renewed every year! A nonprofit organization, just like a business, should always retain full legal ownership of its domain name. Of course, if you have trouble with your domain, we'll be happy to help if we can.
