Let me explain

Hello,

In just a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a donation to Mozilla. But first, let me explain why making a donation today is so important.

We’ve been direct with you: Recent U.S. federal funding cuts eliminated millions of dollars from Mozilla Foundation's programs over the next several years. But the real story isn’t about what we lost — it’s about how this community stepped up.

That’s why today, we’re launching Mozilla’s mid-year fundraising campaign and raising our grassroots fundraising goal for 2025 — not just to recover, but to grow. With more ambition. More resilience. And with people like you at the center of it.

So, here's the ask I mentioned at the start of this message:

Will you donate €10 to Mozilla Foundation today — and help reach our mid-year goal by June 30? When you give, you’re helping build a future where data dignity, digital rights and worthy AI are the norm – not the exception.

This mid-year campaign isn’t just about dollars — it’s about direction. Your donation powers Mozilla’s work on ethical tech, responsible AI, and a global community building a better internet from the ground up.

Thanks for being part of this movement. Mozilla’s strength is people like you. Let’s keep building — together.
