Zig Software Foundation Inc
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
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.

Help Zig Stay Independent
In 2023, ZSF spent 92% of its income directly paying contributors for their work. Unfortunately, we saw a slight decline in donations while user activity skyrocketed. 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/2024-financials/

Wilson Bilkovich Amazing work thus far, keep up the rigor, it's quietly going to change everything in the right direction. I'm new to actually FINISHING Zig projects, but I'm following "nightly", smart API changes recently, even if painful. The harder road ...
Torben Herdemann I am a software engineer with 11 years of experience and I am working on a custom game engine fully coded in Zig. It really was a long time ago, I had this much fun on coding again. Zig is awesome! I love it!
Dmitry Ryzhenkov I've been using this language for all sorts of personal projects a little bit over a year now. This is by far the most enjoyable language I've had the pleasure to work with, and I really want to see it grow and get the adoption it deserves.

Lexa Tang Zig and its toolchain have given me a rare feeling again: This is my computer! Instead of: Are you just being picky?
