Tractor in IT circle
2020 will be extremely difficult for most people
More and more people in society need help
The editors in the IT circle are all in North America
"Program Ape/Yuan" who has lived and worked for many years
Discovered through our own experience
Although many domestic technology companies
In recent years, it has also been exploring philanthropy
But compared to North American technology companies
There is still a big gap
We have listed in this article
How do several tech giants encourage
And actively participating in charity
Hope to inspire everyone
1
Microsoft
Microsoft as the world's number one software giant
Has always been an industry benchmark in philanthropy
To encourage employees to pay attention to charity
Microsoft has implemented it since 1983
“employee giving program”
Microsoft implements 100% matching donation for every employee donation
Employees can choose charitable projects and organizations by themselves
Every employee donated $1
Microsoft will also donate $1 to the organization
In addition to donating money, employees can also donate
“Volunteer Hours”
Every hour Microsoft will donate $25 to the organization
For example, employees can use charity
Teaching in poor mountainous areas, one hour per teaching
Microsoft will give charity $25
To encourage everyone to participate actively
Put this project at the company level
As an extremely important indicator
Team leaders generally take the lead in participating
Just one year in 2019
This project is more than
More than 235,000 charitable organizations
Donated more than 181 million US dollars
Donated 825,000 "Volunteer Hours"
Over 77% of employees have participated in this project
A large number of Chinese employees in Microsoft
Has passed this project to domestic charity organizations every year
A large number of donations in impoverished mountainous areas
And this is just one of Microsoft’s massive social contribution projects

Amazon
Many people are mocking the Amazon boss
The current world's richest man "big brother-in-law"
Jeff Bezos "buckle"
In fact, Amazon silently encourages employees
And everyone makes charitable donations
This project is AmazonSmile
All Amazon users can participate in this project
Just register on AmazonSmile
Choose a charity organization you support and install a plugin
Later you buy things on Amazon
Amazon will donate to your charitable organization
The more you buy, the more you donate
Amazon did not because of this project
Increase the price of goods
In other words, for users
I spend the same money as usual
Buy the same thing
The difference is Amazon
Part of the profit
Used to donate to the charitable organization of your choice
This project currently has
To charitable organizations and non-profit organizations
Donated more than 200 million US dollars
Many American Amazon Chinese users
Have already started participating in this project
Donate to charities that you support
For example, the editor supports
“China Tomorrow Education Foundation”
Has received a donation of 1027 USD

Salesforce
As the world's largest SaaS company
Salesforce (Salesforce) since its establishment in 1999
Always treat charity as the company's first priority
After the establishment, the "1/1/1" project was launched
The whole company will donate 1% of all employees' time
1% product resources and 1% profit
Used to give back to society and invest in charity
Every Salesforce employee per year
Have 7 days of full pay (56 hours)
Used to help non-profit organizations
Same as Microsoft Amazon just mentioned
Employees can choose charitable organizations
Can be volunteering in a social welfare institution
It can also be to teach
Only in the US
Salesforce employees have
Contributed more than 1 million volunteer hours!

At last
At the company level in North America,
"Giving Back" is integrated into the company's DNA
And the company Bibi that put it into practice is also
In the U.S. and Canada
There will be a month every year
Used to intensively promote and donate to the society
These few years
A domestic giant has been vigorously propagating
Charity but what it calls "charity"
Is to keep encouraging users to donate money
In the end, its "charity" not only did not spend money
And earn some donations from users
The so-called "charity" finally became
One of its products
I really hope that domestic technology companies
It can also be comprehensive in terms of giving back to the society
Catch up with North American technology companies
