Our Culture of Giving

Our GitHub Gives program provides resources and empowers employees to support the causes they are most passionate about. Through their time, skills, and financial contributions, GitHub employees power a giving-driven culture that uplifts nonprofits across the globe. Our GitHub Gives program has seen tremendous growth over the years, amplifying impact across critical areas like humanitarian response, sustainability, and developer skilling.

Hubber Champions

Our Hubber Champion ambassador program activates GitHub employees to rally their peers around the causes they care about. Champions lead volunteer events and giving initiatives across regions and teams, helping to foster connection and purpose companywide. Each year, the program continues to grow, building a more diverse network of passionate advocates driving social impact from within.

Skills-based Volunteering

GitHub's skills-based volunteering program connects developers passionate about social impact with organizations in the social sector. Through short-term, high-impact projects, we match skilled employees with partners to help tackle their technical and strategic challenges.

Partner organizations

The Seeing Eye

The Seeing Eye aims to boost independence, dignity, and confidence for the blind with training Seeing Eye dogs. Since 2022, GitHub employees have raised funds to name three pups: Octo, Mona, and Hubot.

Refuse Refuse

Refuse Refuse is a grassroots volunteer effort dedicated to creating trash-free neighborhoods in San Francisco. GitHub volunteers roll up their sleeves to help clean up the streets and parks of San Francisco, including at our annual GitHub Universe conference.

Since 2022, GitHub employees have volunteered with Plastic Whale to clean up plastic waste from Amsterdam's canals, local parks, beaches, and forests. GitHub volunteer teams have helped preserve Amsterdam's natural spaces by collecting 92 bags of trash filled with bottles, cans, plastic, and glass.
