At the DConf16 Andrei announced in his keynote that he is in the 
progress of finding sponsors and has already made quite some 
progress (he mentioned 500K non-Zimbabwean dollars [1]), but also 
noticed that he still needs to built a roadmap & agenda on how to 
most effectively invest this money. I haven't heard much since, 
but I hope that once the D Foundation got an official non-profit 
status (according to the vision this is planned to happen in this 
August), we might hear more.

Apart from that the D foundation currently already "hires" four 
programmers as part of the GSoC program ;-)
