FB poured a ton of money into Hack/HHVM. Which didn't directly benefit PHP. I do see that it inspired the PHP team to improve, but that's indirect.

Facebook may not have directly funded PHP, but I know for sure at least one of the HHVM/Hack devs (Sara Golemon)is also a huge contributor to the PHP core.
