Naming a nonprofit

A nonprofit name should tell donors what changes because you exist. Pair a hopeful image (Bridge, Lantern, Root) with a structure word such as Foundation, Project or Alliance that signals how you work.

Frequently asked questions

How do I come up with a nonprofit name?

Start with words your supporters already associate with change people can see, then combine them using different techniques (compounds, blends, invented words). Type a few of your own words into the generator above: it mixes them with nonprofit vocabulary and checks domains as the names appear.

Are these nonprofit names free to use?

Yes, the ideas are free. Before you commit, check the domain, your trademark office and your local business register. Tap a name, then "Full check" in its brand kit.

Does the generator check domain availability?

Yes. Each name is checked live against the registries for .com, .io, .app, .net and .co. Use "Only with a free domain" to hide names without one.

What makes a good nonprofit name?

Search the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (US) or the Charity Commission register (England and Wales) for similar names.
