The GraphQL Foundation acts as the infrastructure and funding arm under the Linux Foundation and does not write the spec; the GraphQL Specification Project and Technical Steering Committee handle that. It pays for trademark, Zoom, GitHub hosting and a website, runs a grants program that is on track to spend most of its grant budget this year, and funded the graphql.org redesign plus Android and iPhone conference apps. Governance runs through a member-appointed Governing Board, committees (conference, community, marketing, budget) and regular public meetings; sustainability and AI-era planning remain urgent problems.
