San Francisco Tech Companies to Get Tax Breaks in Exchange For Charitable Contributions

The tax deal also includes promises to volunteer in the community and patronize local businesses, according to draft Community Benefits Agreements that could be signed and finalized by the city as early as tomorrow.
