In September 2016, Big Room announced that it would be granting up to 500 domains to the environmental community. The grants would form a permanent reserved list of domains only accessible to environmental non-profits. Over 350 organizations from 50 countries expressed their views on what names should be reserved for community use. This was the first ever program of this kind.
