Thank you SO much for this! It may seem like a small step, but its an incredibly ambitious leap for a small project like Fedecan to make do without Cloudflare

    some level of bureaucracy

    If you're okay with bureaucracy, why not donate to one of the many humanitarian nonprofits that are working on poverty alleviation? eg.

    (2) https://unwrapped.oxfam.ca/products/cash-voucher

    This next thing may or may not be exactly what you had in mind, but its set up along similar lines, and I see it as an interesting and timely experiment: https://encointer.org/

    The first thing that comes to mind is setting up scholarships/bursaries for underprivileged school/college kids. Your local school district or community college or University will be happy to help set that up for you.

    Aside from that, it could potentially be challenging to do direct cash transfers without setting up some level of bureaucracy to help with the vetting/qualification of deserving individuals
