Last year on #GivingTuesday, Salesforce.org, along with Atlassian, Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado and Rally, launched Pledge 1%: a movement to encourage high-growth emerging companies around the world to build philanthropy into their business. We’ve had an unbelievable year — hundreds companies have already pledged 1% of their equity, profit, product or employee time back into the community — and we’re on our way to hitting our goal of 500 pledges by #GivingTuesday 2015 on December 1st.
