Impact Project Coordinator

Cloudflare believes that a better Internet can be not only a force for good, but an engine of global sustainability. We have a longstanding belief that our mission means helping make the Internet better for everyone. We believe that everyone should have access to an Internet that is faster, more reliable, more private, and more secure, and we strive to live up to our core values of being principled, curious, and transparent.

In 2021, reflecting our mission and values, Cloudflare officially launched Cloudflare Impact, our comprehensive corporate responsibility and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiative. Cloudflare Impact reflects a company-wide effort dedicated to finding new ways to use our network to do good in the world. Cloudflare Impact includes our environmental program, our human rights program, and the programs we have built to help provide free or low cost cybersecurity support to vulnerable entities, among other efforts. These programs include:

• Project Galileo: Project Galileo is Cloudflare's project to equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists with free security tools to defend themselves against cyberattacks. The program now includes more than 2,600 participants in over 111 countries working in human rights, independent media and journalism, and other humanitarian and public interest efforts.
• Athenian Project: The Athenian Project is designed to ensure that state and local governments have access to Cloudflare's highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration.
• Cloudflare for Campaigns: Cloudflare for Campaigns is a partnership with Defending Digital Campaigns to provide access to a suite of cybersecurity products to candidates for political office and political party organizations in the United States.
• Project Cybersafe Schools: Announced as part of the Back to School Safely: K-12 Cybersecurity Summit at the White House on August 8, 2023, Project Cybersafe Schools supports eligible K-12 public school districts with a package of Zero Trust cybersecurity solutions - for free, and with no time limit.
