• The UK’s tech sector has seen remarkable growth in recent years - according to Tech Nation 2016, the industry now accounts for 1.56 million jobs nationwide
• 92% increase in tech companies incorporated in London alone over the past three years
• more than 50 companies join the Pledge 1% movement in the UK, where businesses and entrepreneurs commit one percent of equity, product and time to charity
• According to research company Achieve, 84 percent of millennials make charitable donations and 70 percent volunteer
• Comic Relief becomes corporate philanthropy, tech startups like Salesforce gave back when they first began 

The fact that there is an increasing rise in tech startups shows the importance of our generation today and how these small organisations are growing drastically but also giving back which shows how non-profit organisations are helping the economy. This philanthropy therefore shows the significance of tech startups to the economy and how corporate philanthropy is all a bid to make money for an institution rather than moral charity.
