Linux Foundation Announces Intent to Launch the React Foundation
October 07, 2025

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, announced its intent to launch the React Foundation.

The new foundation will serve as the home for React, React Native, and other supporting projects, helping accelerate React’s momentum as one of the world’s most widely adopted open source technologies for front-end development.

Contributed by Meta, React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces that gives developers a simple, replicable way to create dynamic and interactive web applications. React Native extends React for cross-platform mobile applications, leveraged by hundreds of thousands of developers and downloaded over 4 million times every week. React is used by nearly 55 million websites and React Native is one of the top choices for mobile developers building apps today.

“The move to a neutral home is the natural next step in the evolution of this important open source technology to ensure React and React Native remain open, innovative and community led,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. “This will be a major milestone for the open source ecosystem, and we look forward to welcoming the React Foundation to the Linux Foundation.”

Founding members of the React Foundation will include Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion and Vercel. The React Foundation will provide governance, manage core infrastructure, organize events, including React Conf., and launch new programs to expand global community collaboration. Seth Webster, Head of React at Meta, will serve as the foundation’s executive director.
