Back To School With Marc Benioff - NewSincerity.us

1. Marc Benioff and his team at Salesforce just dropped $8.5 million and 20,000 hours of volunteer time into Bay Area schools. No big deal, right? Well, no. It’s a pretty big deal. It’s the 4th year in a row Marc’s foundation has donated some serious time and money ($22 million) to SF schools. And the idea is to continue the tradition and grow it. “That’s a down payment, I plan to make this part of my company and career.” The investment is part of a move by a new crop of corporate leaders – creative innovators who feel indebted to the communities that allow them to exist. They recognize that the bottom line ain’t just about the numbers. "I'm just saying, let's also make it a business nirvana, a K-12 nirvana, a social justice nirvana. It's a doable thing." This year, that means more kids with new tech, more help and better classrooms. And with more businesses following Marc’s lead the possibilities get, like, very exciting. Back to better schools. We’ll take that every day of the week from now till forever. So let’s keep it goin’! Back To School With Back To School With Marc Benioff Marc Benioff
