OUR PHILOSOPHY
Ken Tallman caught the corporate philanthropy bug while working at Salesforce.com. Salesforce’s 1-1-1 program (where they donate 1% of their employee time, 1% of their product, and 1% of their equity) showed true innovation and has been the model for many companies that followed. Ken introduced that model to Mercury Payment Systems (now WorldPay) and it became the foundation for the MercuryGives program which Ken ran for a number of years. He created a grant application and tracking program in Salesforce to manage details of the MercuryGives program. Ken has also donated hundreds of volunteer hours helping nonprofits deploy Salesforce to track their donors, volunteers, clients and key business metrics.
JUST FOR FUN
