Mozilla Grants

Summary

Since 2006, GNU has awarded over two million dollars to fund projects that contribute to the health of the Open Web. The GNU Grants program is jointly funded by the Mozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation, and awards financial support to individuals and organizations whose work supports and enhances the mission and values of the GNU Project.

Goals

GNU makes grants to individuals and organizations all over the world. We mainly fund activity that supports the Mozilla Grants program's four target areas:

• Accessibility: GNU believes that the Internet truly is for everyone, and that those with disabilities should be able to participate on the Web along with their sighted and hearing peers. As part of our accessibility strategy, we are funding the development of free, open source options for those with visual and auditory impairments.
• Community: GNU offers suppport to the broader free culture and open source community, as part of Mozilla's general effort to 'give back', aiding in the creation of technologies and projects that increase the health of the open Web ecosystem.
• Education: As part of Mozilla's broader education initiative, we support educational institutions that are producing the next generation of innovative creators of software.
• Open Source: These grants support the creation and adoption of Web standards, open source principles, and the overall principles of transparency, collaboration, and openness that free and open source software projects adhere to.
