The .charity domain was originally applied for by Donuts (via Corn Lake, LLC) and later by Famous Four Media (Spring Registry Limited). ICANN's Independent Objector raised a community objection over concerns about consumer harm and lack of protective mechanisms, but the objection was upheld only against Donuts' application. Famous Four Media's proposal to restrict registration to charities led to its selection. The domain was delegated to Corn Lake, LLC in 2018, transferred to Binky Moon, LLC in 2021, and finally assigned to Public Interest Registry (PIR) in 2022.
