Pledge 1% is a global movement to inspire, educate, and empower every company to be a force for good. We help companies of every size and stage to leverage their unique assets and pledge 1% of equity, product, profit, and/or employee time to their communities. Pledge 1% founding partners include Salesforce, Atlassian, and Rally, three companies that know first-hand how pledging a small portion of future success today can have an enormous impact tomorrow. In 2014, they came together with the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado to accelerate a shared vision of every business around the globe integrating philanthropy into its corporate DNA. In 2016, Pledge 1% became a special initiative of Tides, a leading global philanthropic partner and non-profit accelerator.
