Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley. But the area has not always been associated with charity. Now,a new generation of entrepreneurs(企业家)appears to be changing Silicon Valley. One example is Marc Benioff,a donor(捐赠者),who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities. He also is the founder of Salesforce. com,a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children‟s hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.
