===Investment Income=== Mozilla Foundation's revenue comes from investments moreso than donations. In 2023, Mozilla reported '''$37,574,982''' in investment income, accounting for '''over 58%''' of the non-profitβs total revenue for the year.<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:501c3_2023_990_Mozilla_Foundation_-_Full_Filing_-_Nonprofit_Explorer_-_ProPublica.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2023 Form 990]</ref> The investment income comes from three primary sources: *'''Publicly traded securities & other investments''': Mozilla maintains a portfolio of investments that generate annual returns. *'''Program-related investments & royalties''': The Foundation earned '''$18,639,553''' in royalties from licensing its intellectual property to support open-source projects.<ref>[https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/File:501c3_2023_990_Mozilla_Foundation_-_Full_Filing_-_Nonprofit_Explorer_-_ProPublica.pdf Mozilla Foundation 2023 Form 990]</ref> *'''Dividends and interest''': Mozilla also earns investment income from dividend-paying stocks and interest-bearing assets. Mozilla's reliance on investment income rather than direct contributions has raised questions about how responsive Mozilla Foundation is to the viability & market share of Mozilla software & its mission, given its ability to survive & continue paying high executive compensation regardless of whether work towards the core mission is being performed in a competent fashion.
