The Salesforce.com Foundation has given more than $19 million in grants since its inception in 2000. The Foundation's annual granting program focuses on empowering organizations that have a proven commitment to our 1/1/1 model and that are using technology in innovative ways. As an extension of the 1/1/1 model, the Foundation is committed to providing assistance beyond the grant to the annual grantees in the form of committed pro bono support from teams of employees. The Foundation also supports the time our employees contribute to their local communities through the employee inspired granting programs outlined below.

Annual competitive grants
