Employee Volunteering and Giving
Giving back is core to our culture at Salesforce. Through our employee volunteering & giving and strategic programs, we bring community and opportunity together.
Volunteering and Giving
Our volunteering and giving programs enable our employees to become high-impact citizen philanthropists who empower the workforce of tomorrow, harness professional skills for good, and strengthen their communities.
Volunteer Time Off
Salesforce employees get seven paid days of volunteer time off (VTO) each year. From volunteering at a school or virtual mentoring to supporting organizations with technical and professional expertise, employees are encouraged to use their VTO in ways that are personal to them.

Employee-Inspired Giving
Our employees maximize their impact to causes they care about through up to USD $5,000 in matching gifts annually. Employees are also eligible for special grant programs tied to volunteering and tenure milestones. For more information contact us at matching@salesforce.com
