Generosity is a common thread that unites entrepreneurs all over the world. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Richard Branson, Michael Bloomberg, and many more successful entrepreneurs are known for emphasizing philanthropy in their business i.e. giving back to the society. Talking of philanthropy, Salesforce.org over the last 18 years has become a vital part of the Salesforce culture.
