Mitchell Hashimoto

Ghostty terminal emulator has become fiscally sponsored by Hack Club, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This structure ensures the project remains free and open source while enabling tax-deductible donations, transparent financial operations, and legal protections against commercialization. The project lead Mitchell Hashimoto will continue technical leadership while establishing sustainable funding through community contributions, with 7% of donations supporting Hack Club's administrative costs. All financial transactions will be publicly visible, and funds will support contributor compensation, upstream dependencies, and operational costs.

Ghostty Is Now Non-Profit

<p>Mitchell Hashimoto is an excellent programmer. He built HashiCorp with his bare hands. He also contributes to Open Source, physically and monetarily with Ghostty and LibGhostty, now entering an Open Source Foundation like the Programming Languages we use every single day. He also makes  monthly donations to the Zig Software Foundation. Jarred Sumner will learn his lesson about why Programming Languages have Open Source Foundations and Ryan Dahl will remember why he put NodeJS in the NodeJS Foundation, also known as the Open JS Foundation. If you want to become an excellent programmer, remember who your piers are.</p>
