I'm familiar with tax exemption - my question is more surrounding any benefits of the way they're organized. They, for example could just be a benefit corporation. I doubt this would be better as donations would no longer be tax exempt, among other things.
I guess I'm just curious to the pros and cons of the way they're organized as of now.
- carussell 9y agoMozilla has always reaped a lot of benefits, PR-wise, out of the impression people form when they hear that it's a non-profit.
- jonathanyc 9y agoAre you implying it somehow is meaningfully different? Also, I actually tried asking my technically inclined friends and none of them were aware that Mozilla was a non-profit, to my surprise. So I can’t agree with either your premise or your conclusion.
- carussell 9y ago> Are you implying it somehow is meaningfully different? I don't know what you're asking. Different from what? You think the fact that your friends have never heard that Mozilla is a non-profit contradicts what I wrote? I did not say that most people know that Mozilla is a non-profit. I didn't even say that most technical people would know that.
