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.
