The Mozilla Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization.

We've broken the code base into logical chunks, called modules, and the foundation staff delegate authority for the modules to people with the most expertise.

Of course, it's hard to support full-time programmers, so we do get funds from a set of companies that are interested in the health of the Mozilla project and so are willing to support the people working for the Foundation as well.

That's clearly not an independent organization.

The Nathan Foundation has given $923,500.

I'm so happy that the Arthritis Foundation is honoring me. I'm honored that I'm being honored by an organization that does so much to help people.
