2025 Financial Report and Fundraiser ⚡ Zig Programming Language

The Zig Software Foundation released its 2024 financial report showing $306K spent on contractors and $154K on employees, with 92% of the budget going directly to contributors. Despite major releases (Zig 0.13.0 and 0.14.0) and growing user adoption, donations are declining while GitHub issues and response times are increasing. The foundation is launching a fundraiser to maintain current contractor agreements and hire additional core team members.
