In a historic move for the open source community, React and React Native—two of the world's most popular JavaScript frameworks—announced their transition to the newly formed React Foundation under the Linux Foundation. This landmark decision, revealed at React Conf 2025 on October 7, marks a pivotal shift toward vendor-neutral governance for technologies that power over 55 million websites and serve 20 million developers globally.

Meta, the original creator of React, is committing to a five-year partnership that includes over $3 million in funding and dedicated engineering support, while simultaneously opening the door for broader industry participation. The React Foundation's governing board will initially include representatives from Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Meta, Microsoft, Software Mansion, and Vercel, with plans to expand further over time.
