At Salesforce, volunteering is in our DNA. Every employee volunteers on their first day as part of our Day1 orientation. Teams take VTO (Volunteer Time Off) days together to give back to their local community. Each employee gets up to $5,000 in matching donations in addition to 56 hours of VTO each year, and they’re encouraged to weave philanthropy into their lives. We pioneered the 1-1-1 integrated philanthropy model when we were founded in 1999, which has now paved the way for more than 3,000 companies who have adopted the model to date. Our goal is to make the volunteer experience for Salesforce employees easier than ever, so we turned to the Salesforce Platform to develop an app that does just that. It’s called Volunteerforce, and it helps our employees practice the philanthropy we preach.
