If you've donated to the Mozilla Foundation before, we thank you for your past donation and encourage you to consider making a new donation designated for one of these projects. This directed giving program was created as a way to give people more ways to be involved in and engaged with the Mozilla project, and the Mozilla Foundation also wants to give the various individual projects within the overall Mozilla project the chance to promote themselves and further grow their communities of supporters. They will then work with the people responsible for each project and come up with some worthy project-related initiatives to fund using those designated donations. The Mozilla Foundation will take note of your choice, and keep track of how much money has been designated for each project. You can also choose to make a traditional unrestricted donation as well. When you donate to the Mozilla Foundation, you now have the option of directing your donations to one of four selected projects ( Bugzilla, SeaMonkey, Camino, and Mozilla accessibility for people with disabilities). The Mozilla Foundation today announces their new directed giving program.
