Firefox for Nonprofit Professionals: Mission-Driven Browser Tools

Nonprofit staff research donors, track grant deadlines, monitor sector news, and write proposals and reports — all in a browser. These extensions fit mission-driven work without adding subscription costs.


Grant deadline and project tracking

Daily Planner — today's nonprofit tasks: "Submit LOI to Smith Foundation," "Review Q3 impact report draft," "Follow up with 3 major donors."


Sector and policy news

News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds from nonprofit and policy publications.

Useful feeds: NonProfit Times, Chronicle of Philanthropy, sector-specific policy feeds, foundation news via press release RSS. Keeps relevant funding and policy changes visible.


Research tabs per grant or program

Tab Manager — save tab sets per grant application or program area.

A foundation application might accumulate: funder website, eligibility requirements, past grantee list, internal program data, and proposal draft. Tab Manager saves the full research context.


Grant writing and reports

AI Writing Assistant — grammar checking for grant narratives, donor reports, and program descriptions. Runs locally — no proprietary program data is shared with external services.


Program habit tracking

Habit Tracker — monthly check-ins for nonprofit work habits: "submitted one grant application," "connected with one donor," "reviewed program outcomes."


Late evening writing

NightOwl — nonprofit staff often work evenings on proposals and reports. Automatic dark mode at sunset reduces eye strain.


All listed extensions are part of a series I built — see the full series.
