Rust Foundation and GitHub Sign Multiyear Enterprise Agreement

The Rust Foundation is pleased to announce a new multi-year agreement with GitHub that formalizes GitHub’s ongoing sponsorship of the Rust Project.

Through this agreement, the Rust Project receives GitHub Enterprise licensing that covers all project infrastructure and contributors, as well as generous access to GitHub Actions runners. The move also reaffirms GitHub’s broader commitment to Rust through infrastructure investment and community collaboration.

GitHub has been an invaluable partner to Rust for many years, quietly providing the Project with Enterprise-level services and CI resources that power our development workflows. Today, the Rust compiler’s continuous integration pipeline runs on GitHub Actions and consumes more than 3 million build minutes each month — an immense workload made possible only through GitHub’s open source support.

While this relationship has existed informally for some time, this agreement marks the first formal sponsorship between GitHub and the Rust Foundation. It provides long-term stability and reinforces our shared commitment to building reliable, scalable infrastructure for one of the world’s most-used programming languages.

We’re deeply grateful for GitHub’s continued investment in Rust and look forward to growing this collaboration in the years ahead.
