Join Mozilla

Overview

Vision: clear, simple program where millions of people can identify and connect with Mozilla.

A part of Whistler commitment to grow supporters and community by 1000x.

Builds user engagement and donations programs that we’re already running.

Today

• We already have:
  • 15,000 donors
  • 200,000 mailing list members
  • 3 million social media followers
• OK, but fragmented.
• Huge untapped potential to expand, create sense of belonging and connection.

Why?

Brand affinity for Firefox.

Bigger base to back (and grow): 50k Mozillians who donate time.

Fund programs (e.g. Drumbeat) = new tools and innovation.

Mozilla as something bigger.

We’re a non-profit organization who believes the web should be free, open, accessible, transparent, safe and - most of all - a force for the good of humanity.
