After her trip with Amber to Necker Island, she was inspired to create an app called Go Good which later became Pledge 1% whose mission is to unleash the power of corporate philanthropy by helping companies of all sizes and stages leverage their assets to solve the world’s toughest social issues. Our job is to help companies integrate social impact into their DNA by contributing 1% of their employee time, product, profit, and/or equity to ANY cause of their choosing. Pledge 1% was founded 5 years ago by tech luminaries Marc Benioff (Founder/co-CEO of Salesforce), Scott Farquhar (co-founder/co-CEO of Atlassian), Ron Conway (Founder and co-Managing Partner, SV Angel), Ryan Martens (Founder and CTO of Rally), Brad Feld (co-founder of Techstars), Seth Levine (Co-founder, Foundry Group), and Suzanne DiBianca (EVP Corporate Relations & Chief Philanthropy Officer, Salesforce). The movement has grown quickly to over 10,000 members in over 100 countries and Fast Company named Pledge 1% the most innovative nonprofit in the world and one of the top 50 most innovative companies. Since inception, Pledge 1% members have ignited over ½ Billion dollars in new philanthropy. We hope you join Twilio, Docusign, Zuora, PagerDuty, Slack, Sendgrid, Upwork, Pluralsight, PostMates, Salesforce, Atlassian and thousands of other member companies by taking the pledge today at Pledge1percent.org.
