CRM Science is committed to not only solving Salesforce puzzles, but also the serious sort that affect our world, our family, and our friends. To this point we’re announcing our partnership with Pledge 1%, to give a minimum of 1% of equity, product and employee time to helping our communities. We have partnered with Salesforce and Friends to fight Multiple Sclerosis by sponsoring $20,000 worth of donation matching. This doubles the impact of donated dollars by friends and family of Salesforce employees, and other Salesforce partner company participants, that are riding in Bike MS events throughout the year, across the United States. We will be joining the Salesforce and Friends team in San Francisco for the Waves To Wine ride this September 24-25th. It’s a practical way we can rally together in with the greatest software company and community ecosystem and help folks get real research dollars into the hands of the lab coats that are creating the cures for MS right now.
We’ve all had the fortunate opportunity to hear about Salesforce.org, formerly known as Salesforce Foundation, and how Salesforce’s effort to spearhead accelerate a shared vision around integrating philanthropy into businesses around the world. The Pledge 1% program encourages and challenges individuals and companies to pledge 1% of equity, product and employee time for their communities, because pledging a small portion of future success can have a huge impact on tomorrow. We’ve found that the Pledge 1% team really does offer easy tools and best practices, that made it a painless process for our company to incorporate philanthropy into our business model.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.
The Salesforce Waves to Wine efforts have helped fund new therapies targeted to either slow, stop, or ultimately repair the damage done to individuals living with MS.
