Cloudflare's Impact Programs Reach $100 Million in Donated Services

Milestone Achieved

Cloudflare's Impact programs have reached $100 million in donated services. This achievement signifies that thousands of organizations, such as journalism outlets, civil society groups, state and local governments, election management bodies, and public schools, have received protection from cyberattacks through Cloudflare's offerings.

Evolution of Impact Programs

Cloudflare initially offered free services to developers and small businesses to gather data on cyberattacks. The company later recognized that some free users were conducting essential public interest work and facing significant attacks. This led to a commitment to provide more advanced services to vulnerable organizations.

Project Galileo and Expansion

In 2014, Cloudflare launched Project Galileo to offer advanced security to journalists, human rights defenders, and civil society groups. This program now includes over 3,500 domains across more than 120 countries. In 2025, Project Galileo participants experienced 38.5 billion blocked cyberattacks, averaging 105.4 million per day.

Over the past 12 years, Cloudflare has expanded its Impact programs, including initiatives like The Athenian Project (2017), which supports state and local governments in operating democratic elections. The Athenian Project currently covers over 440 websites in 33 U.S. states. The overarching goal remains to support public-serving organizations that might otherwise lack access to necessary cybersecurity.
