+  * The Matrix.org Foundation recently published a
+    [blog post](https://matrix.org/blog/2025/02/crossroads/)
+    stating that unless they raise temporary funding by the end of March, and
+    also solicit further, more sustained funding in the month after that, they
+    will start scaling back operations and discontinue running and maintaining
+    their flagship inter-protocol bridges, including the official bridge to
+    OFTC.
+
+    In the event that they do not meet their ambitious goals, we are providing
+    pointers below to resources so that our users can plan how to proceed, and
+    avoid splitting their communities.
+
+    While there are some forks of the matrix-appservice-irc codebase, we are
+    not aware of any equipped to maintain this as a community fork. However,
+    there are other options, such as [Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge)
+    which bridges to a variety of other protocols as well, and
+    [Heisenbridge](https://github.com/hifi/heisenbridge) which offers a 
+    one-to-many bridging option.
+    
+    The Matrix.org Foundation has indicated to us that that they will make
+    plans for the worst-case scenario, and we will communicate further as we
+    get more information.
