The foundation's board consists of five active Bevy Maintainers, including creator Carter Anderson, and aims to centralize donations, hold Bevy's intellectual property, and reduce reliance on any single individual. The immediate priority is hiring maintainer Alice Cecile full-time at a $150,000 target salary to focus on project management, the new Bevy Book, ECS Relations, and an input action system. Longer-term plans include developer grants, a possible asset store, and merchandise, with public bylaws, meeting minutes, and budgets published for transparency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

The Bevy Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated in Washington State with a pending federal 501(c)(3) tax-exemption application, formed to legally formalize the existing leadership structure of the Bevy game engine project. It centralizes donations, holds intellectual property like the Bevy logo and domain that creator Carter Anderson previously owned personally, and reduces reliance on any single person, addressing what the project called organizational debt. _Developers weighing how open source projects sustain funding can follow governance changes like Bevy's on daily.dev._ ### Who is on the Bevy Foundation board of directors? The board consists of five active Bevy Maintainers: Carter Anderson (@cart, elected President), Alice Cecile (@alice-i-cecile, elected Secretary), Francois Mockers (@mockersf), Robert Swain (@superdump), and James Liu (@james7132). Carter also serves as interim Treasurer. The policy is that board membership follows maintainer status, with no paid board seats and no way to buy a position. _Contributors evaluating open source project leadership models can track Bevy's governance updates on daily.dev._ ### What is Alice Cecile working on for the Bevy game engine? Alice Cecile, a long-time Bevy Maintainer, is set to become the first full-time paid employee of the Bevy Foundation at a target salary of $150,000 a year, taking a pay cut initially while funding builds up. Her priorities include finishing the new Bevy Book, coordinating development of ECS Relations for entity relationships, and building a first-party input action system based on lessons from her leafwing-input-manager plugin. _Rust game developers tracking Bevy's engine roadmap and ECS features can follow updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Bevy's Sixth Birthday](https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-s-sixth-birthday-bb5mw85zl) · Lobsters · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Bevy 0.19](https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-0-19-sk3tvicux) · Lobsters · 19 upvotes · 2 comments - [It Breaks a Village: Bevy's 6th Birthday](https://daily.dev/posts/it-breaks-a-village-bevy-s-6th-birthday-apgsvxny0) · Lobsters · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#rust](https://daily.dev/tags/rust) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-foundation-6v5ttcdrm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Bevy Foundation","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-foundation-6v5ttcdrm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-foundation-6v5ttcdrm"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:22:24.137Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:48:24.073Z","description":"The Bevy game engine project has established the Bevy Foundation, a Washington State non-profit with a pending 501(c)(3) application, formalizing its existing...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--P4t4XyoV--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2001","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--P4t4XyoV--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2001","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Bevy Engine","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Bevy Engine","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--oCEd8Bn1--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487635/logos/bevy-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/bevy"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-foundation-6v5ttcdrm","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"game-development,rust","timeRequired":"PT13M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Bevy Engine","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/bevy"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Bevy Foundation"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/bevy-foundation-6v5ttcdrm#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the Bevy Foundation and why was it created?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Bevy Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated in Washington State with a pending federal 501(c)(3) tax-exemption application, formed to legally formalize the existing leadership structure of the Bevy game engine project.
