Welcome to the React Foundation

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 ecosystem includes 54+ essential libraries maintained by hundreds of contributors across dozens of 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

100% of profits from our official merchandise store go directly to ecosystem maintainers. We track contributions across all 54 supported libraries using transparent, metrics-based distribution.

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.

Get Involved

Whether you're a contributor, maintainer, or React enthusiast, there are many ways to support:

  1. Shop the store - Every purchase funds maintainers
  2. Contribute to libraries - Build the ecosystem
  3. Spread the word - Share our mission
  4. Become a member - Join our governance
