CLOUDFLARE’S Impact programs are set to reach $100 million in donated services, marking a notable milestone in the company’s effort to shield public-interest organisations from cyber threats. The donation figure underscores the scale of protection provided to journalists, civil society groups, election bodies, state and local governments, public schools and similar institutions, which are described as frequent targets of cyberattacks.
Since Project Galileo’s 2014 inception, the programme has grown to cover more than 3,500 domains across over 120 countries. In 2025, Galileo and related initiatives blocked billions of attacks, including DDoS and phishing attempts, with daily protection figures described as around 105.4 million attacks per day.
The piece also highlights broader aims of Cloudflare’s Impact family—delivering free or enhanced security to vulnerable organisations serving the public interest—and notes a 2026 Cloudflare report on civil society cyberattacks, which found that such groups face higher and more sustained attempts than typical Cloudflare customers.
The article also mentions extensions to other programmes, including for campaigns and critical infrastructure, illustrating how Cloudflare continues to adapt its offerings to safeguard democratic processes and essential public services.
