Salesforce.com Celebrates its One Millionth Subscriber Milestone with $1 Million "Force for Change" Awards

SAN FRANCISCO - December 5, 2007 - Salesforce.com [NYSE: CRM], the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, and the Salesforce.com Foundation, the global leader in integrating philanthropy and business, today announced that they are awarding a one million dollar donation across ten nonprofit organizations in celebration of the company's one millionth subscriber milestone. The global recipients, spanning from educational institutions and microfinance, to fair trade and healthcare, represent the company's innovative 1/1/1 integrated corporate philanthropy model where 1% of employee time, 1% of the company's equity, and 1% of the company's product are delivered to nonprofits. www.sharethemodel.org.

"From salesforce.com's beginning, we've been focused on not only delivering a new business and technology model, but a new model for corporate philanthropy," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of salesforce.com. "We felt it was only fitting that today, as we hit this tremendous one million subscriber milestone, we continue on the mission behind our 1/1/1 model to give back to nonprofit organizations in our communities as the success of our company continues to grow."

The majority of donations of $100,000 each are being awarded to organizations that represent the impact of salesforce.com's innovative 1/1/1 integrated corporate philanthropy model to foster deep impact in the nonprofit sector. These organizations have benefited from donated Salesforce licenses that they are using to manage their organizations, volunteers, services, grant giving and fundraising.

San Francisco Connect, an innovative partnership between private, public and social sectors dedicated to improving San Francisco, is a great example of salesforce.com's model in action. Salesforce.com employees volunteer at quarterly Project Homeless Connect events and at computer labs through Project Tech Connect, representing the company's focus on donating 1% of employee time to the community. In addition, Project Homeless Connect runs on donated licenses of Salesforce to track the services being provided to the City's homeless as part of salesforce.com's 1% product donation program, and the Salesforce.com Foundation has provided assistance in grants to the organization as part of its 1% equity commitment.

"Salesforce.com and its employees have been an integral part of our organization since the very beginnings," said Dariush Kayhan, executive director of San Francisco Connect. "We are honored to be recognized with this donation to further our mission to get the San Francisco community engaged in solving San Francisco's most pressing issues."
