To elaborate on this a bit more, there are two ways for people to support software freedom conservancy (SFC) by donation:

 - People can give money to the Git project, a member of the
   conservancy.  90% of that money will be earmarked for the Git
   project's use, and the rest goes to general fund to run SFC.  The
   "Donate" button on http://git-scm.com/sfc goes to this pot.  The
   "Check" option on http://git-scm.com/sfc can be directed to this
   way by earmarking the money for the Git project.

 - People can give money direct to the conservancy.  The "Check"
   option on http://git-scm.com/sfc can be directed to this way by
   not earmarking the money for the Git project.
