Summary

Cloudflare has announced that non-profit, civil society, and public interest organizations can now join the Cloudflare for Startups program, offering up to $250,000 in Cloudflare credits for use on various developer and core products. This initiative aims to support non-profits facing funding shortages and technological deficits by providing scalable resources and infrastructure. The program, which mirrors challenges faced by startups, is designed to help small teams maximize their impact globally by focusing on their ideas rather than infrastructure management. The application period is open until December 1, 2025, and will be assessed based on the project's description, requirements, and potential impact. This effort comes in response to a challenging year for non-profits, who are struggling with reduced government funding and increased demand for services, while new non-profit startups are emerging to address these gaps innovatively.
