Thanks for the .ORG insights. Its trust factor for nonprofits is huge. Q: How do .ORG domains compare to .NGO for global charities? Great article.
.ORG is widely trusted and versatile for any nonprofit, with broader recognition (85% of users associate it with credibility). .NGO is more exclusive, requiring verification, and suits global charities focused on advocacy. Choose .ORG for flexibility or .NGO for a specific, prestigious identity.
