.ORG Where people go when they need to know

When people need to know, they go to .ORG. .ORG is the Internet home of noncommercial organizations, including nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, philanthropies, charities, religious organizations, educational and cultural institutions, arts organizations, sports clubs, and others, who create .ORG Web sites and e-mail addresses.

It is the people who visit .ORG Web sites, turning to them for information and assistance.

And it is the Public Interest Registry (PIR), which manages the .ORG top-level domain name and maintains the database of all .ORG Internet addresses.
