ADF PLEDGE 1%

ADF Solutions 1-1-1 Philanthropy Model

The Pledge 1% movement is a global program that encourages and empowers companies of all sizes and at all stages of their growth to donate one percent of their equity, time, product, and/or profit to any charity of their choosing. 

This movement was spearheaded by Salesforce, who pioneered the 1-1-1 Model of Integrated Philanthropy in 1999, laying the foundation for Salesforce.org and encouraging companies to harness their resources to give back to society. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, had a simple vision: just imagine if every person across every organization in the world gave just one percent back to society. Imagine what an impact that could make.

ADF has adopted the Pledge 1% model of integrated philanthropy because it aligns closely with our culture. The work we do has impact every day and giving back is simply a way we can further positively impact the communities we serve near our headquarters and around the world. 

pledge

We encourage each employee to give back one percent of their time to philanthropy which equates to about 20 hours a year volunteering or giving back to their community.

We provide software and discounts to qualified organizations that need, but may otherwise not be able to afford, ADF digital forensic software to solve crimes in their community.

We provide resources to programs that could benefit from our help or need our support, such as school and university programs, and mentor projects.
