8 years ago Sarah, So glad you're asking these questions. Here's the Elevator Speech tutorial https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mMp_JE6fvV0_DUM1XWXskgKiCS8CG7ce8tCrUsaeQo8/edit#slide=id.gf9c4355db_0_271 you referred to, for anyone who is interested. It will be posted on the new Fundraising Mana (coming soon!).
When I talk about Mozilla at BBQs, I get asked all of the above, plus...How can you compete against (or... Why are you competing with) Google Chrome? Having a succinct, pithy answer to that would make me happy.

Sometimes you are hit with a barrage of questions or at an event when someone in the crowd during the Q&A section asks you how Mozilla funds it work. Some questions can catch up off guard and some you are not fully prepared for.
We should have a document for staff to equipt them to answer these questions. It doesnt have to be textbook responses but a simple two liner to show we understand, can answer comfortably with knowledge - also know where we can point people to for further detail who want to know the nittygritty. I know @jessiekeating https://github.com/jessiekeating was working on a version called Elevator Speeches but I believe it was pitched for funder questions. BBQ questions we should prep for are
- How does the Foundation fund its work
- what is the relationship between the Foundation and the Corporation
- What makes Mozilla Foundation a charity?
- is this status worldwide
- any more suggestions??
