Summary

DigitalOcean is expanding its Hub for Good program, initially launched in April to support COVID-19 relief efforts, to address a range of social causes including reducing inequalities and promoting inclusive economic growth. The company has received over 1,000 applications, helped launch almost 600 projects, and donated over $150,000 in infrastructure credits so far. DigitalOcean is now committing up to $500,000 in infrastructure credits indefinitely and making a $50,000 cash donation to support organizations such as Per Scholas, NPower, Black Girls Code, and the Blacks in Technology Foundation. The company values community and love, standing by peaceful protesters and advocating for justice and swift action against racism and police brutality.
