The Zig Software Foundation is a non-profit corporation founded in 2020 by Andrew Kelley, the creator of Zig, with the goal of supporting the development of the language. Currently, the ZSF is able to offer paid work at competitive rates to a small number of core contributors. We hope to be able to extend this offer to more core contributors in the future.

Ziggy's Fundraiser
In 2024, ZSF spent 92% of its income directly paying contributors for their work. User activity continues to skyrocket. We have extremely talented new core Zig team members who want to renew their contracts, and some who want to start getting paid for the first time. Our income comes from a diverse set of parties, preventing any one from having undue influence on the project. Your donations help to increase and maintain that diversity. We are looking to increase recurring donations to ZSF in order to satisfy the needs of our new users. More details: https://ziglang.org/news/2025-financials/

Paul Dann 1I think Zig genuinely could displace C as the go-to systems language. The planned async roadmap is particularly exciting.
Matthew Coburn Keep it up guys. Free Software makes the world a better place.
Mark Hayes Zig is a very sharp tool, that is exactly what I need.
Sean Bohan Zig 1.0 go go go
Martin Weber 7I like the way you communicate and that you have a definite vision that mostly aligns with my needs. With my background in decades-of-C, zig feels very satisfactory. Thank you.
Pedro Botsaris 1It's a great Language!
