There is no difference in meaning between the two sentences. I prefer the second one, because it 'flows' more naturally than does the first one, but it's really just a matter of preference.,

The first is in the past tense and indicates that they have now ceased their contribution.
The second indicates that the contributions are ongoing.

It is the same difference between the simple past and the present perfect that exists in countless sentences. To learn about this, google "simple past vs present perfect" and read one of the many web pages on this subject.
