Mozilla and the National Science Foundation are awarding $2 million in funding for projects that will help get people online after disasters or that connect isolated rural Tribal, and urban communities that lack reliable Internet access in the first place. Coverage ranged from a fantastic Fast Company profile of a Detroit project that is bringing broadband to low-income neighborhoods to TechCrunch to StateScoop.
Mozilla is a nonprofit that believes the Internet must always remain a global public resource, open and accessible to all. Its work is guided by the Mozilla Manifesto. The direct work of the Mozilla Foundation focuses on fueling the movement for an open Internet. Mozilla does this by connecting open Internet leaders with each other and by mobilizing grassroots activists around the world. The Foundation is also the sole shareholder in the Mozilla Corporation, the maker of Firefox and other open-source tools.
