The Salesforce Foundation has announced that it will grant $US1 million to education non-profits worldwide to mark the celebration of Salesforce employees volunteering for a million hours. As part of the celebration, Salesforce employees around the world will spend the week of July 13 giving back to their communities during Salesforce's global volunteer week.

The Salesforce Foundation will award ten $100,000 grants to non-profits selected by Salesforce employees around the world. They include:

The Salesforce Foundation president and co-founder, Suzanne DiBianca, said giving back at Salesforce is a vital part of the company culture and has set an example for dozens of companies around the world that have also pledged to adopt the 1-1-1 model.

"We are so proud to see Salesforce employees reach this incredible milestone in such a short time--it's a testament to the power of our 1-1-1 model, that leverages one per cent of our product, equity and time to improve the state of the world.

"We're thrilled to commemorate this accomplishment by giving back to the communities where we live and work," she added.
