Hudson, Mass. - February 23, 2010 - The Bridge Group, Inc. today announced it's commitment to a formal philanthropy program. Based on Salesforce.com's 1/1/1 model, the program will support non-profit organizations by volunteering 1% time, 1% expertise and 1% bookings.
"Our commitment is to leverage the power of our people, skills and energies to support the work of non-profit organizations," said Matt Bertuzzi, Marketing Consultant at The Bridge Group, Inc. "We are very inspired by the work that Salesforce.com is doing with their 1/1/1 model and decided to build upon that."
For those unfamiliar, Salesforce describes the integrated philanthropy program as:
Donate 1% of salesforce.com's resources to support organizations that are working to make our world a better place.
We take a small fraction of salesforce.com's time, product and equity and use it to make a huge impact in the world.
The Bridge Group will commit to volunteering:
- • 1% time. Donate 1% of our time (4 days per person per year) engaged in volunteerism.
- • 1% expertise. Donate our skills (4 days per person per year) to helping non-profits be successful.
- • 1% bookings. Donate 1% of our bookings to charitable organizations.
To kick off the 1/1/1 commitment, The Bridge Group has announced support for two projects:
- • The American Lung Association's Fight For Air Climb: Race Up Boston Place - Matt Bertuzzi served as a volunteer for the all day event - 1% time
- • Volunteer Salesforce.com Administration for Watch CDC (in partnership with Eustace Consulting) - 1% expertise
