Social impact at CrowdStrike
Social impact at CrowdStrike
At CrowdStrike, our mission to stop breaches is rooted in protecting and powering not only our customers, but the people and communities they serve. Every day, we aim to create a positive social impact by empowering our employees to give back in ways that are meaningful to them so we can collectively live up to our mission and purpose.

At CrowdStrike, we believe protecting the world’s most vulnerable organizations, institutions and communities is critical to the overall success of the cybersecurity industry. Our social impact initiatives are key to this cause:

Operation Motorsport Foundation
CrowdStrike partners with the Operation Motorsport Foundation, a veteran led nonprofit organization focused on aiding 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- are the same that make a successful team fighting against cyber adversaries.

Pro bono security software
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.
