CISV PITTSBURGH RECEIVES 
SALESFORCE GRANT
Salesforce, a global cloud computing company that specializes in customer relationship management, has approved our application for their nonprofit program, Power Of Us.  Our chapter will be using this application in conjunction with our CMU Technology in the Community relationship, to create a dynamic database for our chapter.  The Salesforce.com Foundation donates 1% of their company's resources to support organizations that are working "to make the world a better place." We are so fortunate for this opportunity and are looking forward to some dramatic changes in the future!

WhatYouCanDo:
