"To" is correct. The verb "add," in the sense of "contribute" uses "to." However, the verb "put," uses "into/in," not "to." For example:
He added some money to the account.
He added three carrots and a potato to the stew.
He put some money into/in his account.
He put three carrots and a potato into/in the stew.
He added some money to the account.
He added three carrots and a potato to the stew.
He put some money into/in his account.
He put three carrots and a potato into/in the stew.
