Salesforce.org Partner Network

/s/SalesforceOrg.png?v=1


Salesforce.org was founded on the idea that the idea of business is improving the state of the world.  Founded on the 1-1-1 model, Salesforce.org gives back to the community to invest in education to make sure youth are future ready.  Everyone who wants to change the world should have the technology and tools to do so. Technology is the most powerful equalizer of our time, providing access to data, knowledge, and-above all-connections.  Salesforce.org gets technology in the hands of nonprofits, education institutions and philanthropic organizations so they can connect with others and do more good. Salesforce.org donates free and highly discounted licenses to qualified nonprofits and education institutions. Thanks to the Power of Us Program, we have donated 10 free licenses to over 40,000 nonprofits and counting.
