The Zig Software Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation entirely sustained by donations (and now a couple support contracts). We pay 3 developers to work full-time and also offer a pool of hours that other core contributors can bill the foundation when they do Zig work. As far as I'm aware, not all foundations pay their core contributors, including the Rust Foundation. On top of that, we don't have any big tech company in our board of directors and never will, this is another difference with the Rust Foundation (and many others).
