Our Communities
Protecting, educating, and uplifting our communities.
Our mission to stop breaches is rooted in protecting and empowering not just our customers, but also the people and communities they serve. We amplify our impact further through dedicated social impact initiatives that protect, educate, and uplift communities.
Giving
We focus our corporate philanthropy on areas where we can make the greatest impact. We fund scholarships and programs to educate the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, donate our software to organizations in need, and support nonprofits worldwide — including those focused on veterans support, disaster relief, and education. CrowdStrike supports these causes through direct contributions, CrowdStrike Foundation grants, and our donation-matching program for employees.

Featured Nonprofit Partners
Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security
CrowdStrike is proud to partner with the Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security (CIAS) at The University of Texas at San Antonio, which advances the cybersecurity industry through research, training, K-12 education, and collegiate competitions.
CrowdStrike is a titanium sponsor of Cyber Threat Defender — the collectible card game that teaches middle and high school students cybersecurity concepts in a fun, engaging way. A custom card booster pack features CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity solutions and some of the most sophisticated adversaries targeting business today. Our employees support this program by donating card packs to schools and volunteering in classrooms. Through this game, we’ve reached over 100,000 students at a critical age for pursuing cybersecurity education.
Operation Motorsport Foundation
We support Operation Motorsport Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit that aids the recovery and rehabilitation of medically retiring or retired service members through motorsports.
Operation Motorsport partners with professional racing teams, including CrowdStrike Racing, to embed program beneficiaries as team members. The skills that make a successful racing team – teamwork, critical thinking, data analytics, and adversary insights – also make a successful cybersecurity team.
India STEM Foundation
CrowdStrike is a partner of the India STEM Foundation (ISF), a nonprofit on a mission to provide access to STEM education and skill development accessible to all. ISF supports state-of-the-art STEM programs, tinkering labs, infrastructure, and teacher training.
CrowdStrikers in our Pune office have volunteered with students from ISF for mentorship events, cybersecurity trainings, and support of the World Robotics Olympiad.
Pro Bono Software
Nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) possess data and intellectual property that make them prime targets for cyber attacks, yet many have limited resources for developing and maintaining effective security programs. CrowdStrike provides pro bono security software and services, including free access to the industry-leading CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, to select nonprofits and NGOs across the globe. If your organization is interested, please read our FAQ about eligibility and terms before submitting your application.
Volunteering
We believe cybersecurity is more than a career. It’s a calling. The same passion that inspires us to create a safer world inspires us to help our neighbors. Through CrowdStrike Cares, we encourage our employees to volunteer in the ways that are most meaningful to them. We also provide paid volunteer time off. Our teams have volunteered at schools, food banks, and parks around the world. As a remote-friendly company, we also provide virtual volunteer opportunities such as online mentorship programs and assembling STEM Education Kits.
