The wonderful individuals that contribute their time to organically improve Salesforce’s fit with nonprofits is amazing. The latest example of this is Steve Wright’s posting of the “ER” diagram (or ERD, or entity relationship diagram) on the NonProfit section of Developer.Force.com, for the latest NonProfit Starter Pack (aka NPSP).

Salesforce.com: # 55 on Fortune Magazine’s 2009 100 Best Companies to Work For

Posted on January 26, 2009 by lkao

I flipped open my latest paper copy of Fortune today and saw that Salesforce.com is listed as #55 on the 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Congratulations! (I know, they probably wanted to be at the #1 spot as folks there take achievement in all areas so seriously, but this is still significant and they should pat themselves on the back.)

Fortune cited Salesforce’s 1-1-1 corporate philanthropy model as particularly noteworthy, and I’d agree. (I just hope that other companies adopting this model stay true to their word, even in tough times like this.)
