History
The Zig Software Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Its mission is to promote, protect, and advance the Zig programming language, to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Zig programmers, and to provide education and guidance to students, teaching the next generation of programmers to be competent, ethical, and to hold each other to high standards. By donating to ZSF, donors fund development of the Zig programming language and its ecosystem, which in turn benefits the greater open source community. Zig community members have landed bug fixes in LLVM, Wine, QEMU, musl libc, GDB and others. ZSF states that it makes efficient use of monetary resources, and while it wants to stay small, it also wants to provide opportunity for unpaid volunteers to become contractors who can earn a living with their contributions.
