Foundations

JS Foundation

The JS Foundation supports some of the most important projects in the JavaScript ecosystem (ESLint, Lodash, Moment, webpack among others).

The foundation is financed entirely by its members and the donations and contributions from the JavaScript community.

Info about how to donate can be found over here.
