"Building a Movement of Corporate Philanthropy
We want to change the world through inspiring early–stage corporate philanthropy. Pledge 1% is an easy way to leverage a portion of your future success to support nonprofits in your community. It’s a small commitment today that can make a huge impact tomorrow. The sooner you start, the easier it is–so join your fellow founders by making a pledge today!" [1]
In the list are companies like Atlassian, Salesforce, and Yelp.
The pledge is either 1% of equity, time, product, or profit.
Either way, it is more than that due to PostgreSQL's software license. Because of that, we all (potentially) benefit.
And it is a commitment. A (somewhat) stable source. More so if more companies commit to such a pledge.
