Fund the Rust Ecosystem

Does your company depend on Rust?

The Funding Initiative is for RCN members who want to fund maintainer time for both directed work and maintenance in the Rust ecosystem.

If your organization has budget, or you need help making the case for one, come to Funding Initiative office hours. Office hours are for sponsors and potential sponsors, not for projects seeking funding.

Small and large contributions are welcome. If you cannot discuss something publicly, email rust-commercial-network@rustfoundation.org and we can schedule a private conversation. For async public discussion, use the commercial-network channel in Rust Project Zulip.

Funding Directory

The Funding Directory lists open funding opportunities, including project work, ongoing maintenance, reviews, and project support.

Office Hours

Funding Initiative office hours are for routing a budget, preparing an internal funding pitch, and working through sponsorship logistics.
