Git is a member project of Software Freedom Conservancy. Conservancy is a not-for-profit organization that provides financial and administrative assistance to open source projects.
Donation
Conservancy accepts donations on git's behalf. In the past, project money has typically gone to defraying travel costs for developers to come to our annual GitTogether mini-conference. A portion of the money goes to Conservancy to cover their operating expenses. You can also donate directly to Software Freedom Conservancy's general fund.
