GitHub Gives 2022: Creating positive, lasting contributions in our communities

GitHub's Social Impact team orchestrated an inclusive and successful GitHub Gives campaign in October, moving it from its traditional December slot to enhance participation and engagement. This move allowed for four full weeks of programming, avoiding the end-of-year scheduling conflicts when many employees are out of the office. The campaign featured thematic fundraising raffles, participation awards, and activities encouraging employees to engage in community support, which resulted in a 10% increase in participation compared to the previous year. GitHub partnered with nonprofits, including The Seeing Eye and Hack the Hood, to support diverse causes, focusing on educational and employee-related interests. The campaign involved virtual and in-person events, like presentations from nonprofit representatives, which fostered deeper connections between employees and the causes they support. GitHub plans to apply the insights gained from this campaign to their upcoming Volunteer Month in April 2023 to maximize their social impact.
