## Funding

One of the hardest nuts to crack for the present transition was the question of funding.
57-
Today, Rust is organized as a set of somewhat independent projects (rustc, cargo, rustup, rustfmt), and there's deliberately no way to fund a specific project directly. The new [Rust Foundation](https://foundation.rust-lang.org) is the official place to sponsor Rust in general, with the Foundation Board overseeing funds allocation. Yet, it has always been encouraged for individuals and smaller organisations to seek individual funding. The Rust project does not _endorse_ these efforts though, in the interest of fairness.

rust-analyzer has received a significant share of funds from its OpenCollective and later GitHub Sponsors, managed by Ferrous Systems. This OpenCollective funded efforts by both individual contributors and Ferrous Systems employees. Details of this can be found in their [transparency reports](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/blog/2021/08/03/financial-report-3.html). Luckily, the OpenCollective has always been managed in a way that would make it possible to transfer it to a different account holder.

With this transition, the OpenCollective will be renamed from "rust-analyzer OpenCollective" to "Ferrous Systems OpenCollective (rust-analyzer)". This allows current sponsors to continue to sponsor and also make it clear that their chosen project will continue to be funded.
