Project Director Update — April 2025

This is the fifth blog post in the series started December 2024 where us Rust Foundation Project Directors will be sharing the highlights from last month’s Rust Foundation Board meeting. You’ll find the full March 2025 minutes on the Rust Foundation’s site!

---

Highlights from the March meeting include:

• The 2025 Foundation budget is in good shape, but Bec and other Foundation staff are working on ensuring the Foundation can continue funding efforts similarly in 2026 amidst the economic uncertainty much of the world is also facing right now. The Foundation is always looking for more members; if you’re reading this and the company you work for uses Rust and isn’t yet a member, please reach out!
• Jon Bauman attended the ISO C++ meeting as part of his work on the C++ interoperability initiative, and as a result, some C++ committee members will be attending Rust Week in May to continue the collaboration!
• Speaking of Rust Week, the Foundation has awarded around 30 travel grants for Rust Project members to attend. Thank you for this support!

As always, if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please email all of the project directors via project-directors at rust-lang.org or join us in the #foundation channel on the Rust Zulip.
