As a driving force behind Salesforce.com, Marc Benioff, the co-founder and CEO, has made giving back some of his San Francisco-based company's fortune a part of the business plan. His recent donation of $2.7 million to San Francisco middle schools is putting iPads into the hands of kids along with teacher training and wireless access. A $100 million gift to UC San Francisco in 2010 to build a children's hospital was one of the largest philanthropic gifts in the university's history. In an interview with KQED Newsroom senior correspondent Scott Shafer, Benioff talks about why he thinks tech companies need to invest in communities where they thrive.
