Inside DigitalOceanIn
April of this year, we launched our
Hub for Goodprogram that was designed to support relief efforts during the
height of COVID-19. We are proud to have received over 1,000 applications to date, helped launch almost 600 projects,
and have donated over $150,000 in infrastructure.
Now,
we are broadening, indefinitely, our Hub for Good program to assist with other
challenges our community is facing. Based on the extension, we will commit up to $500,000 in additional infrastructure credits.
We stand for equality and justice, and want to donate infrastructure to help our
community build solutions that help the world better address these causes.
