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.
Opportunity
400 million
people use Firefox.
Millions know it’s about
more than just a browser.
They want to be
part of what we stand for.
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.

open, accessible, transparent, safe and - most of all - a force for the
