The R Consortium itself is funded by its <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-consortium.org/members" target="_blank">members</a> (including my own employer, Microsoft), so if you'd like to see more such projects why not ask your own employer to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.r-consortium.org/about/join" target="_blank">become a member</a>? </p>
