Donations to the Mozilla Foundation support work in the realms of education and advocacy. More specifically, this means gifts support the free, open source tools and curriculum at teach.mozilla.org, which teach skills like privacy, security, HTML, CSS and more. These activities and products are used in classrooms around the world.

A couple more examples: Thimble, our educational code editor (mzl.la/thimble), and Webmaker, our Android app for mobile-first Web users (mzl.la/webmaker).

Donor support also helps Mozilla fight for pressing issues like net neutrality and mass surveillance reform. Mozilla's community of donors provided the resources we needed to support a successful campaign for net neutrality in the U.S. this year, plus supported other advocacy campaigns internationally.
