I was asked to help mentor a high school FIRST Robotics team that decided to switch from a .org to a .com. They then made application for their 501c3 non-profit status. Does anyone had a bad experience with a .com and a 501c3 application? jb

A 501C3 is a tax status that has only to do with the profit/non-profit status of an organization - it is unrelated to any suffixes that might be behind your domain name.

Right. Both .org and .com are unrestricted; any{person, company, organization} can register them.

Yeap, shouldn't have any problems. I work for some non-profits and we always register both the .com and .org - .org because we want to denote non-profit, and the .com because that's what people remember.

If possible, I always try and get the .ORG variant of the .COM.
