Going from a little money to a lot changes an org very significantly.&lt;p&gt;Granted, I also haven&amp;#x27;t looked much into the Rust Foundation, but I&amp;#x27;m going to assume a $1 mio is significant for them. Google can always donate more down the road when the investment pays off and is digested usefully.&lt;p&gt;(Edit: The Rust Foundation had an income of $2.89 mio in 2022 and $2.56 mio in 2023 according to their annual reports. $1 mio sounds about right for what they should be able to usefully handle, from the gut.)</text><parent_chain><item><author>digdugdirk</author><text>It blows my mind that Google is celebrating a 1 million dollar grant to something that serves as a cornerstone of every aspect of the future of their business.&lt;p&gt;$1 mil is less than a rounding error for an organization like that.
