Mission Statement
Salesforce Foundation is changing the game for how companies operate in the world by delivering and promoting a fully integrated model for philanthropy. We employ strong partnerships to empower the on-demand nonprofit focused on their success and efficiency; inspire and support employees volunteers; to take meaningful action to improve the world; and help youth find and reach their full potential.
Description
From its inception, the Salesforce Foundation used a unique model of integrated philanthropy, one designed to grow with the company. Our 1/1/1% model disseminates the financial and intellectual wealth of the organization to those most in need:
- 1% Equity: Using one percent of founding stock to offer grants and monetary assistance to those in need, especially to support youth and technology programs.
- 1% Product: Facilitating the donation of salesforce.com licenses to nonprofits helping them to increase their operating effectiveness and focus more resources on their core mission.
- 1% Time: Finding meaningful activities for salesforce.com employees to use their six paid days off a year devoted to volunteerism, and promoting a culture of caring.
Whenever possible, we try to combine each part of our model--1% Equity, 1% Product, and 1% Volunteerismâ to create and harness the Power of Us. Working together, with the help of technology, we can make a measurable difference in our communities
