.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.

MyGoodDeed, a nonprofit 501c3 organization leading the effort to establish September 11 as a national day of voluntary service, charity and good deeds. Their mission is simple: to encourage people everywhere to set aside time every September 11 to perform good deeds of their choice to help others in need. In this way, we hope to keep alive forever, in our memories and actions, the spirit of giving and selfless service that unified the United States following the terrorist attacks.
