Another grant from the Mozilla Foundation

In December 2007, NV Access was approved for another grant from the  Mozilla Foundation in order to hire James Teh (one of the core NVDA developers) on a full-time basis. James was previously working for an IT company and could only contribute to NVDA in his spare time after work and on weekends. This grant from the  Mozilla Foundation will enable him to leave his current employment and dedicate all his working hours to improving NVDA. You can read our  list of goals to see what we hope to achieve for NVDA with this new grant from Mozilla. The grant will cover all salary and any overheads associated with the management of this position as well as contribute to the general running costs of NV Access.

NV Access is also looking for organisations or interested parties to partially or fully match this funding in order to hire Michael Curran (the other core NVDA developer)to also work on some of these and other goals in order to continue to make NVDA a viable free screen reader solution for people around the world who are blind or vision impaired.
