NicNames is cheapest to move in ($21.50) and cheapest to keep: $64.50 for 3 years.
Bottom line
Porkbun is the one to beat for .gives: $51.31 over 3 years.
.gives is a verb, so it reads like a short sentence: acme.gives. That makes it a nice fit for donations, grants, volunteering or a company's community programme. The original application described it as a home for people and organisations that give back, but that doesn't make every .gives site a charity.
There are no eligibility restrictions. Rightside's registry launched it, it moved to Donuts' Dog Beach in 2021, and Public Interest Registry (PIR), the non-profit behind .org, took it over in 2022. PIR's NGO checks apply only to .ngo and .ong, not to .gives.
A donation page should name the legal recipient, explain how funds are used, and disclose processing fees or intermediaries. A grant directory should state who administers the programmes and when it was last checked. For organisations deciding whether to focus on their institution or their activity, .foundation names an organisational form, while .gives emphasizes an action. Neither domain proves charitable status, tax exemption, or government recognition. Those claims need to be supported on the site itself.
