But the willingness to help has never been stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To uncover actionable, impactful ways in which companies can continue to be a force for good, we spoke to <b>Kiranmayi Botlaguduru and Srichandana Nagoji<\/b>, who lead Salesforce\u2019s philanthropy programmes in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-how-can-companies-continue-their-csr-efforts-during-this-crisis\"><b>How can companies continue their CSR efforts during this crisis?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Working with non-profits you\u2019re already partnering with <\/b>is a great way to keep giving back even during these times. These are pre-established relationships; check with them about the difficulties they face, and see how you can help. In fact, just reaching out to a non-profit and having a simple conversation about how you appreciate their efforts can do wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also <b>find out how the government is structuring its relief measures. <\/b>Then identify non-profits partnering with the government and support their endeavours to reach out to people most affected by this crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Matching the donations of your employees<\/b> is another great way to contribute. It also goes a long way in rallying your employees\u2019 support. For instance, at Salesforce, we match any donation of up to USD 5000 that our employees make to a verified non-profit organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through <b>frequent communication,<\/b> companies can inform employees on how they can safely do good.

We took time to adjust and get comfortable with the new normal of work from home. But a month into it, we had employees reaching out to us expressing willingness to volunteer and help. We are elated to see the generosity and enterprise that our employees are exhibiting during this crisis. If we had to talk numbers, we would say that the <b>total volunteering time clocked by our employees in this quarter is far more than what it was in the same quarter last year.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we have seen is that in times of crisis, every little bit helps.
