Hello,€10. That’s the contribution we’re asking you to make to Mozilla before tomorrow’s end-of-year fundraising deadline. If you knew contributing just €10 would help ensure that irresponsible tech companies were held accountable, wouldn’t you donate immediately? If you knew that same €10 would empower a global movement of technologists, activists, researchers, engineers, and policy experts working to protect our privacy online and build safe and worthy AI, then wouldn’t it be a satisfying way to invest your €10? We know that €10 doesn’t seem like enough money to do either of those things. But by the time you’ve gotten to this point in the email, hundreds of people from around the world will have already donated. And now, they’re hoping you’ll do the same. Because when everyone adds a donation – no matter how big or small – it all adds up. We’re closing in on the last day of 2024… but we’re still $261,500 USD off hitting our updated end of year goal. Reaching this bigger goal will mean that Mozilla’s vital work can continue, while ensuring this movement has the necessary resources to fight for and build the digital future we deserve. So we’re asking you directly: Will you rush an urgent donation of €10? Every gift — no matter the amount — gets us one step closer to reaching our updated end-of-year goal by tomorrow at midnight. Would it help if you knew that the future of technology is being shaped right now? And that by contributing €10, we can collectively help build a future where online privacy and open-source innovation lead the way? Or what about knowing that when you give to Mozilla, your €10 is an investment in a future where AI serves the public good, rather than concentrating tech power? Or what if you knew your €10 donation would be used to fund not only Mozilla’s non-profit work, but also would be used to directly support initiatives like Common Voice, the world’s most diverse crowdsourced speech dataset? Or to train the next generation of internet users and builders, via Mozilla’s Responsible Computing Challenge? Or fund the next era of grantmaking to ensure that promising open-source technologies that serve people and communities can receive the right support at the right time? Your donation helps to advocate for and develop technology that puts people first while powering a global movement to reclaim the internet. So, when you give your €10, you can feel confident knowing that thousands of Mozilla supporters around the world are contributing alongside you before this important end-of-year fundraising deadline. Add an urgent donation of €10 to Mozilla before our end-of-year fundraising deadline ends at midnight tomorrow. Reaching this new, ambitious goal will only be possible with support from the Mozilla community. Sincerely, Michael Whitney Director of Digital Engagement Mozilla |
