The Salesforce.com Foundation has greatly increased its platform by inviting salesforce.com's corporate partners to participate in its nonprofit efforts.

The Salesforce partners program is designed so that a participant must be a registered partner in the salesforce.com Partner Program and must provide 2 of the following:
