Our goal is to speed up human progress by enabling developers to collaborate regardless of their skills or experience. We prioritize global accessibility through localization, outreach, community building, compliance.
Global diversity, inclusion, and belonging at GitHub
We are the world‘s largest developer community and value the potential of a diverse open-source community. We prioritize promoting diversity and inclusion across our platform, people, philanthropy, and policy. See below for more information on our global strategy.Contribute where it counts
GitHub: a corporate and community leader
GitHub has a responsibility to address key local and global societal issues. We deploy GitHub products for good, foster partnerships between private and social sectors, and empower employees to contribute to causes aligned with their values.
Four key focus areas
Together with our employees, developers, and partners—and with a focus on skilling, accessibility, sustainability, and humanitarian response—we can drive positive and lasting contributions to the world.
GitHub for Nonprofits
GitHub for Nonprofits enables organizations to leverage technology to drive forward their missions and accelerate human progress. Verified nonprofits get exclusive access to a free GitHub Team plan or 25% off the GitHub Enterprise cloud plan.
Protecting privacy and security
We continually push to foster and protect developers’ abilities to collaborate and drive change by contributing to projects that protect the privacy and security of people across the globe, especially at risk populations.
Promote civic engagement
Finally, we promote civic engagement by developers globally, including making sure that Hubbers have paid time off to vote and serve as election workers.
