Great progress\u2014neighborhoods and businesses that are booming\u2014but also communities and people that feel forgotten. We see extraordinary wealth, a community with over 70 billionaires, but also grinding poverty in the shadow of this building,\u201d Benioff told the crowd of several hundred politicians and business and religious leaders at the base of the glass and steel tower on a chilly, misty morning.<\/p><p>\u201cWe see companies unleashing incredible innovations, but also families in deep distress, struggling to survive another day. The experience of cities in other parts of the country teaches us that successful cities and successful businesses go hand in hand. If a city fails to invest in its people\u2013their education, their well-being, their safety\u2013over time, businesses flee. And the opposite is also true, if businesses fail to recognize their obligations to their community, if they are disconnected and fail to give back over time, cities suffer and decline.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large prevent-download\">\n\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"19397-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png 820w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=300&amp;h=176 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=768&amp;h=450 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=264&amp;h=155 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=500&amp;h=293 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=678&amp;h=398 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=150&amp;h=88 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=329&amp;h=193 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Faith leaders, employees and building project managers were among the attendees at the Grand Opening.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure><div id=\"19397-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large prevent-download\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png 820w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=300&amp;h=176 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=768&amp;h=450 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=264&amp;h=155 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=500&amp;h=293 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=678&amp;h=398 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=150&amp;h=88 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/scene.png?w=329&amp;h=193 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><figcaption>Faith leaders, employees and building project managers were among the attendees at the Grand Opening.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><p>Salesforce.org, the philanthropic arm of Salesforce, announced at Tuesday\u2019s event that it will donate $1.5 million to Hamilton Families\u2019 Heading Home Initiative to end long-term family homelessness in San Francisco.
