Welcome to the React Foundation

Introducing the React Foundation and our mission to support the React ecosystem.

Seth Webster

Executive Director, React Foundation

We're thrilled to announce the official launch of the React Foundation — a community-driven initiative dedicated to sustaining and advancing the React ecosystem for generations to come.

Our Mission

The React Foundation exists to ensure the React ecosystem thrives through:

  • Funding maintainers of critical React libraries
  • Supporting education and learning resources
  • Ensuring accessibility for developers worldwide
  • Transparent governance and community-driven decision making

Why Now?

React has grown from a tool built at Meta into a global movement that powers millions of applications. The foundation currently tracks contributions across 61 React ecosystem repositories maintained by contributors across many organizations.

This growth is incredible — but it also creates sustainability challenges. Many maintainers work on these critical projects in their spare time, without compensation.

The React Foundation changes that.

How It Works

We track public GitHub activity across the supported ecosystem and publish the methodology used to assess contribution activity, library impact, and future funding distribution. The foundation store remains a preview until checkout is operational.

Founding Members

We're grateful to our founding members who believe in this mission:

  • Meta
  • Microsoft
  • Amazon
  • Huawei
  • Vercel
  • Expo
  • Callstack
  • Software Mansion

Together, we're building a sustainable future for React.
