Maven Mule is a Salesforce ISV and Consultancy partner with 10+ years of expertise on the market. They have committed to pledging their profit, product, and time towards helping the community.
When the world is as unstable as it is, humanity helps us stand on our feet. We can’t solve all the world’s problems, but we can always influence the community around us, and that’s what we choose at Maven Mule.
Last year we started our Pledge 1% journey and we have been feeling empowered since then. All the profit, time, and product donations we make are related to matters close to our hearts because we believe that’s how true change starts.
We have sent money to the UNICEF Milky Way fundraising event and Children's home Laduč to help children with special needs because some of us are parents ourselves and we know how precious and fragile a child’s life can be. Needless to say, children are our future, but we can help build it here and now.
We have supported government budget and non-profit organizations helping the families whose homes have been destroyed by the earthquake in Croatia because it could have been our home too.
We are also sponsoring a football league at one of Zagreb's colleges because we just love football and we can’t do anything about it 🙂 Speaking of which, a football fans association NGO Naš Hajduk, regularly receives our services with a big discount and gets our product, Maven Documents, free of charge.
Generally, we provide discounts to NGOs for all the products we have, because good intentions have to be rewarded.
Apart from profit donations, we love giving back to the Salesforce community with what we are doing best - building great products that help people be productive at whatever they are doing. Thus, we created a free set of tools for all the Salesforce Trailblazers out there - Maven Tools. More than 3000 daily active users boost their productivity with a help of it and we can’t be more proud.
We also make sure our expertise is not solely invested in products and services we offer but gets transferred to further generations (because remember, children are our future). Every year we mentor students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb to help them professionally develop, most of them end up being our employees by the time they finish their studies.
Here is a word from our CEO, Dragan Vujnović:
“We are excited to hold a Pledge 1% badge as a multiple pledger, as we're dedicated to giving away our time, our product, and our profits. By sharing this badge, we're further spreading the idea of giving back as well as aligning Maven Mule with Pledge 1% values of making the world a better place.”
We hope to inspire other small companies to start locally since the impact we can build for our community is limitless - it just takes one step at a time.
Their #1 tip or advice for companies?
Just take one step at a time and start local. Help does not necessarily need to be "big" or "global", some help is better than no help at all.
