Thanks. I tried to know its meaning by heart, but I really had a hard time refering it to contribute. Why is go in on related to contribute?

It's very similar to CHIP IN which also means contribute. The key here is to understand the meaning of the preposition. In us used very often with the idea of including, being part of, being inside, etc.
