.ORG Impact Awards
Celebrating and rewarding the incredible efforts of mission-driven organizations.
More than a Domain Name
PIR understands that real impact—the kind that changes
lives for the better—needs more than a domain name.
Our collective work is designed to remove all of the barriers that prevent mission-driven organizations from being successful as they leverage the Internet to achieve their goals—whether it’s making the Internet safer and more secure, celebrating and rewarding the impact they have to the communities they serve, providing tools and resources to maximize online effectiveness, or working to implement policies to make the Internet open and accessible to everyone.
Mission Focused
PIR is dedicated to providing a secure online environment and the resources needed to empower mission-driven organizations to increase their positive impact in our communities and our world.
Supporting the Mission
PIR supports .ORGs. Whether it’s shining a light on inspiring mission-driven organizations with ORG in Action or providing the tools and resources needed for online success through our .ORG Learning Center.
Elevating and Celebrating
PIR believes the incredible work that successful mission-driven organizations are doing every day and the lives of those they’ve impacted should be celebrated and rewarded.
