Git and The Software Freedom Conservancy
Git is a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy. The SFC is a not-for-profit organization that provides financial and administrative assistance to open source projects.
Donation
The SFC 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 the SFC to cover their operating expenses. You can also donate directly to the Conservancy's general fund.
