Cybersecurity for those in need
Organizations such as think tanks, advocacy groups and social development entities possess valuable assets, including data and intellectual property that make them prime targets for cyber attacks. Yet many nonprofit organizations have small, distributed staffs and constrained budgets, making it difficult to develop and maintain mature, effective security programs.
CrowdStrike is here to help
Nonprofits, human rights organizations, journalists, think tanks and those fighting to protect digital freedoms and privacy face sophisticated intrusions across the globe. CrowdStrike provides pro bono security software and services, including free access to the industry-leading CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, to protect your operations and privacy so that you can focus on what matters most.
- FAQs
For nonprofit organizations with less than 250 endpoints interested in applying to the pro bono program, please read our FAQs before submitting an application. - Terms and conditions
All pro bono customers must accept the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform terms and conditions. - Active security incident help
This program is designed to strengthen security, not to respond to an active security incident. If you’ve experienced a breach, see our incident response services.
We believe cybersecurity is more than a career. It’s a calling. Every day, our people come to work ready and determined to help create a safer, more secure world. We created our CrowdStrike Cares program to encourage our people to give back to their communities in the way that’s most meaningful to them. Our teams have volunteered at parks, food banks, and schools around the world. As a remote-first company, we also provide virtual volunteer opportunities ranging from online mentorship programs to STEM Education Kit assembly.
"I volunteered at the Angels Flight West Golf tournament—great time and a great cause. They provide air travel for children and adults in need of specialized medical assistance outside of their local area. "

"My entire family goes through our home every Thanksgiving holiday. We bag up toys, clothes, blankets, and shoes that have been outgrown, but are in next to new condition. We take the kids and the bags to Harvest House and donate them in time for families in need to come 'shop' for the holidays. "
Madison A. Sr. Global Manager, Corporate & Sales Dev Strategic Programs
"Some of our team enjoyed a sunny afternoon away from our laptops picking up trash at Salt Creek in partnership with the Surfrider Foundation. I appreciate CrowdStrike's drive to help local communities in so many different ways. "
