About Mozilla Foundation Fellowships

Mozilla Foundation will award 10 Fellowships for the 2027–2028 period. We are looking for extraordinary individuals working at the edges of human imagination, on technology that's too early, too unexpected, or too ambitious for anyone else to fund. Our Fellows are builders first, of tools and of the fields around them. But they are also defiant about who technology should serve, and rigorous about making it a reality.

If that sounds like you, come build with us. Bring the wildest, most radical version of your idea: the one that questions who gets to decide and puts control back in the hands of the people who use it. Optimizing the status quo is somebody else's job. Ours is to build the alternatives.

Benefits of Mozilla Foundation Fellowships

  • Track I: Embedded Fellows - $100,000 USD in total, as a $75,000 stipend and a $25,000 project budget.
  • Track II: Independent Fellows - $125,000 USD in total, as a $100,000 stipend and a $25,000 project budget.

Mozilla Foundation Fellowships Requirements

  • The fellowship supports individuals. Applicants should demonstrate the skills and experience to deliver their proposed work within 12 months. Projects must serve a charitable purpose and create meaningful public benefit, and applicants must be legally able to receive grant funding from Mozilla Foundation.
  • Applications must be submitted in English. Translation tools are welcome, and ideas are evaluated rather than language quality. Embedded applicants should check the location and working-time requirements of their preferred host.

Application Date and Process

Applications are reviewed through a multi-stage process. The primary review occurs at the Letter of Intent stage, with only a small number of shortlisted applicants invited to submit a full application in early 2027.

  • Letter of Intent deadline: December 17, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific (UTC-8)
  • Invitation to submit full application: February 16, 2027
  • Full application deadline: March 12, 2027 at 11:59 PM Pacific (UTC-8)
  • Final applicants notified: April 30, 2027

The Fellowship begins on June 1, 2027, and runs for 12 months.
