Interesting that these kind of things are done by less known companies, not the big names. At least that's my (uninformed) impression.

I think any employee in tech should appeal to their employers to donate / contribute to the open source projects they use.

Appealing will only get so far in any bureaucratic mess, especially if those responsible for the decision are way above your pay grade.

These companies instead should carve out a matching donation program for employees funding FOSS projects.
