Have you ever taken out domains to help friends and orgs?

Well,
I tried. Best intent. Gift 'em with a much better url. I will always do that.
I have 3 that I tried gifting but either get the "no" or ignore. These are climate related.
Well, they will not stop me from caring
Crazy part is all 3 have a 4 digit Godaddy estimate.

This is something I and others have tried in the past. I've picked up names of famous people for next to nothing thinking I'd just gift them but never had any takers. Surprised me because if I was offered my name for free I'd bite their hand off lol.

Names for existing companies and organisations can be a bit different in that they're already established on their chosen name and rebranding can be incredibly time consuming and expensive.

What I did was do the compressed url thing.. instead of amforsavetheworldfromclimatechange.org to a4stwfcc . Org but alot sweeter. 4 letter .org.
Then, a big climate org let their .com wide open and get junk replies when I try DONATING
And, the kicker is a 6 letter dot com that is so in sync and pronouncable and just nice.. the leader of the org shunned me.
C'set la vie! I tried
Sometimes, I really feel am crazy. Yet, the world is crazier.

I tried donating a house to an organization once with the only stipulation that they not sell it for fifty years. They rejected it a week later. I was hoping they would turn it into a park.
