Elevate your cooperative identity and community leadership with a .COOP domain name.
Your .COOP domain name represents your organization’s commitment to solving community challenges and demonstrating community leadership through cooperative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, sustainability, and solidarity.
It signifies that your organization has been verified as a cooperative or cooperative support organization.
We verify four categories of organizations that make up the Cooperative ecosystem. Are you a democratically-controlled, member-owned organization consistent with the 7 Cooperative principles? An Association comprised of Cooperatives? An organization controlled by a Cooperative? Or an entity with operations principally dedicated to serving Cooperatives? You may be eligible for a .COOP domain name.

Our 7 Shared Cooperative Principles
A cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise. The cooperative principles are guidelines by which cooperatives put their values into practice.
