"Mozilla" isn't a non-profit. Mozilla, as such, isn't a thing.
Mozilla Corporation (which is where your donations go - you can't donate to Firefox as such) is a taxable, profit-making company.
Mozilla Foundation wholly owns Mozilla Corporation, and is a non-profit. But you can't donate to Mozilla Foundation.
(I don't know how you can be a non-profit that wholly owns a profit-making corporation; I'm not an accountant, and I'm not familiar with US tax law)
- slothtrop 5y agoSounds almost farcical.
- denton-scratch 5y agoAlmost? The history of Netscape and Mozilla is sufficiently farcical to fuel an entire 6-series comedy franchise. Were it not for the jaw-dropping salaries that the absurd execs draw, I'd laugh.
- jefftk 5y agoDonations go to the Foundation, not the Corporation: https://donate.mozilla.org https://donate.mozilla.org
- denton-scratch 5y agoThanks for correcting me. I'm sure you'll excuse my confusion.
