Why you should use a charity name generator

So, why is it so important to use a charity name generator? Can’t you just come up with a charity name idea on your own?

Theoretically, yes. You can make up a charity name all on your own. But there are a couple of major benefits to using a charity name generator:

• Dozens of instant ideas. You don’t have to wait for the muse to strike. All you need to do is enter a word or phrase related to your charity and you’ll receive dozens of ideas in a matter of seconds.
• Automatic domain availability checks. The best online name generators automatically check if the domains associated with their name ideas are available. This means you don’t have to worry about coming up with a name only to find that you can’t claim the domain for it.

Best charity names: real-world examples

Keywords are essential to finding a charity name, but they’re not the only way you can find inspiration. You can also look at existing charities to see what types of names they’re using. This can help you choose something similar so that people immediately know what your charity is about — or find a way to buck the trends and create a fully unique charity name.

Check out these charities for inspiration:

Downtown Women’s Center

One of the best ways to develop the right name for your charity is to focus on your niche. Downtown Women’s Center is a great example of this. The name lets people know who they serve (women in need). Highlighting your niche in your charity’s name can also be a good strategy when it comes to potential sponsors as they will know exactly what your charity is about.

Heal the Bay

Heal the Bay is a charity organization that focuses on cleaning up and protecting LA’s coastline. The word “heal” is powerful for two reasons. One — it explains that they plan to restore the area. Two — it’s an emotive word that should encourage anyone who cares about the coastline to want to help.

How to choose a charity name

Step 1: Consider Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

If you want to build a successful business in 2023, you need to make it easy for people to find you online. This means developing a comprehensive SEO strategy that begins with a search-friendly domain name.

A search-friendly domain name includes keywords related to your business. For example, “aid organization.”

You can find out what effective keywords for your business are in three steps:

• List as many relevant words as you can think of. Open a document or grab a notebook, set a timer for 3-5 minutes, and write down all the words and phrases related to your industry or business that come to mind. Remember that a “keyword” can actually be multiple words long.
• Run them through a keyword planning tool. Keyword planning tools can tell you how much search traffic there is for a specific word or phrase.
• Create a shortlist of the best keywords. Move any keywords that have good traffic (at least 1K/month) and low competition to a shortlist.

Once you’ve got a keyword shortlist, you can either run these keywords through a charity name generator or continue to the next step.

Step 2: Consider your offerings

The next thing to consider in naming a charity is how your company will help customers. There are a couple of questions to ask yourself here:

• What problem do you solve for them? You can reference this problem in your charity name to make your business’s purpose immediately clear.
• How do you solve this problem? Alternatively, you can use words focused on the solution. This is most effective if your solution is something familiar, like counseling services. If your solution is brand new, people might not understand the reference in your charity name.
• What makes your business unique? This is what makes your company more appealing than other companies in your industry. For example, if you offer one-on-one services, you might use a word like “Personalized” in your company name.

If you can find a way to express one or more of your answers through the keywords you listed in step one, you’ll have an ideal charity name.

Step 3: Consider your location

Another way to make your name unique and improve your SEO at the same time is to include a reference to your location. This can be beneficial for a couple of different reasons:

• Nearly ⅓ of all Google searches are location-based [1]. Your charity is more likely to show up at the top of these searches if the location is included in its name.
• Many people go out of their way to support local charities. Establishing your charity as coming from a specific neighborhood or city can make these people more likely to support you.

In short, if you want to attract local customers, referencing your location in your business name is a great way to do it. You can reference the street your charity is on, the neighborhood it’s in, the city where you do business, or a general region you provide products/services to. You can even use a nickname for a location or the name of a nearby landmark.

To create a new list of name ideas, experiment by combining various keywords from Step 1 with different location keywords.

Step 4: Consider your future plans

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a charity name is how you want to grow your organization over the years. There are three questions to ask yourself here:

• Do you eventually hope to expand the products/services you offer? If so, you’ll want to choose a name that focuses on the problems you aim to solve rather than a specific product or service.
• Do you eventually want to expand to new locations? If you want to help people all over the world, you probably won’t want to include a specific location in your charity name.

In short, you want to make sure that your charity name doesn’t limit your potential for future growth. It’s much easier to add new products/services to an existing charity than it is to start a new one from scratch.

How to check domain availability

The final 🏁 thing you need to figure out is if the name you want to use is actually available.

The good news is that if you’re using the DomainWheel charity name generator, you’ll only see name suggestions that you can buy the domain for. However, a domain being available doesn’t always mean that you can use the name for your charity. You’ll also want to check the USPTO Trademark Database to make sure your ideal charity name isn’t already registered.
