Ten years ago, Salesforce opened its first office in Chicago \u2014 a city rich with culture and history, a diverse talent pool, and an amazing architectural legacy. Since that time, the city has become one of the cornerstones of our success, fostering innovation and contributing significantly to our overall growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re thrilled to officially open the doors of Salesforce Tower Chicago \u2014 an extraordinary 57-story building and a permanent fixture in Chicago\u2019s legendary skyline. Situated at the convergence of the north and south branches of the Chicago River, Salesforce Tower Chicago will serve as a beacon of Salesforce\u2019s culture and our values, and a central gathering place for our employees, customers, partners, and Trailblazers from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salesforce\u2019s commitment to Chicago<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Salesforce has grown in Chicago, we\u2019ve scaled our impact in the community. Through our 1-1-1 philanthropic model<\/a>, Salesforce has contributed $16 million in grants to local nonprofits, and our local employees have provided nearly 270,000 volunteer hours to the community. Some of our leading customers \u2014 like Grubhub<\/a>, the University of Chicago Medical Center, and Casey\u2019s Pizza \u2014 are deeply rooted in the city\u2019s fabric. And in 2018, we made a public commitment<\/a> to add 1,000 jobs in Chicago over the next five years, which we met a year ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re proud to announce an additional $1.25 million in grants to help support Chicago and Illinois communities. Recipients include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
