Diversity & Inclusion at Github

Internally, GitHub strives to build a workforce that reflects the global developer community by setting diversity goals for hiring, retention, and promotion, publishing an annual Diversity Report, and investing in unconscious bias and allyship training.

Employees receive mental health support, wellness stipends, and professional development funds. In philanthropy, GitHub supports nonprofits with free or discounted access to its tools through GitHub for Nonprofits and encourages employees to give back by matching donations and incentivizing volunteer work.

On the policy front, GitHub advocates for inclusive legal and regulatory changes, supports initiatives like DACA and international student protections, and works to safeguard developer privacy and security. The company also encourages civic engagement by ensuring employees have time off to vote and participate in elections.

Through these efforts, GitHub aims to foster an inclusive, diverse, and globally connected developer community.
