VTO & Impact Grants

Your Meeting Role Could Be Worth $500

Every time you sign up for a functionary role at a Salesforce Toastmasters meeting — Timer, Ah Counter, Grammarian, Evaluator, Table Topics Master, Toastmaster of the Day — you are volunteering for a nonprofit. And at Salesforce, that volunteering can turn into real money for a cause you care about.

Here's how it works.

The $500 Impact Grant

Each quarter, Salesforce randomly selects 1,000 employees to each receive a US $500 grant to donate to an eligible nonprofit of their choice. To be eligible, you need to be an Impact Trailblazer — meaning you've earned 7 or more Impact Milestones in the fiscal year. Toastmasters functionary roles help you get there.

How Functionary Roles Get You There: Impact Milestones

Impact Milestones are how Salesforce tracks and recognizes your volunteer and giving activity throughout the fiscal year. They fall into three categories: Relationship Builder, Community Champion, and Global Collaborator.

Toastmasters functionary roles can earn you several milestones (Milestones are tracked in the Employee Impact Hub):

• Team Participant — sign up to volunteer once

• Repeat Engagement — sign up three times with the same cause

• 5 VTO Activities — one milestone

• 8 Total Hours — one milestone

• 10 Activities — one milestone

Earn 7 or more Impact Milestones in a fiscal year and you become an Impact Trailblazer — and get entered into the quarterly $500 Impact Grant drawing.

How to Log Your VTO

Here's how to log your Toastmasters time:

1. Go to https://sfdc.co/sftm_vto (you must be logged into your Salesforce account)

2. Sign up for the Meeting Dates where you served a functionary role and log 1 hour for each date.

3. You can log past functionary roles retroactively

For detailed instructions, visit Basecamp. For full policy details, see the Employee Impact Policy.
