This is an overview of the beta Join Mozilla Program.
Please help edit and improve!

Join Mozilla is a new community engagement and support program aimed primarily at Firefox users: it gives them a simple way to support our mission.

Join Mozilla in 5 Bullets

  • Over 400 million people use Firefox every day. Many of these people want to do more: to show their support and help in our efforts to build a better web.
  • We need simple, fun ways for these people to connect and engage with Mozilla. Join Mozilla is a first step.
  • Join Mozilla is clear, simple program where millions of people can easily support and keep abreast of Mozilla and the open web.
  • This massive new community of supporters will back (and cheer on!) the work of 40,000+ Mozillians who already contribute their time and passion.
  • Supporter funds go to grants and projects. They help us create new technologies, spread new ideas, and inspire innovation across the web.

Purpose

  • Build on (and grow) brand affinity for Firefox: help people understand that we're about something bigger than just a browser.
  • Grow a bigger base to back 50k Mozillians who donate time: millions of supporters backing our community.
  • Raise funds for grants and programs like Mozilla Drumbeat that create new tools and drive innovation.

Anti-purpose

  • Join Mozilla is NOT a replacement for our existing contributor community
    • We already have programs to support Firefox and Thunderbird contributors, and plan to grow and improve them throughout 2011
    • We also have programs like Mozilla Drumbeat aimed at getting new kinds of contributors and projects into Mozilla
  • Caveat: we do hope that many people who express their support through Join Mozilla will eventually volunteer time or get involved in some other way
