Cloudflare Impact reaches $100 million in donations

What happened

Free → Impact Cloudflare started as a free service. Cloudflare launched Project Galileo in 2014 to provide more advanced security services for important but vulnerable people and organizations online, including journalists, human rights defenders, and civil society groups. Cloudflare is an information and communications technology company based in San Francisco, and its products and services include identity management.

This week, Cloudflare's Impact programs will reach $100 million in donated services. This milestone means that thousands of entities including journalists, civil society, state and local governments, election management bodies, and public schools are being protected from cyberattacks.

But Cloudflare's Impact programs have never been about philanthropy. Today, the program contains more than 3,500 domains in over 120 countries.
