Free tier	Quoted: 'Generally anyone who maintains an open source project can apply to MOSS, including individuals, NGOs, and for-profit companies' and 'the MOSS Committee has mostly chosen to award between $5,000 and $150,000 USD per project; the average project size is roughly $70,000 USD'.

Composes with	USD 70,000 average is the largest per-person award after OTF, and it is paid as an award rather than a salary, so it can be spent entirely on rented accelerators during the stated work period.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Two real bars: maturity (no new projects) and, for Track I, a Mozilla insider willing to write an endorsement, which is a social gate no application can substitute for. Track II takes other projects without that letter. Mozilla pays as an award and states that recipients handle their own tax treatment; it reserves the right to use different payment mechanisms per award, so the payout route for an individual outside the US is not published.

Free tier	The programme's own page still advertises, quoted: 'The Accelerator funds and supports work vital to the open-source AI ecosystem. It provides up to $100,000 in non-dilutive funding and a focused 12-week curriculum.' The only dates on it are from 2024, quoted: 'June 3, 2024 Accelerator Applications Open', 'August 1, 2024 Final Application Due', 'September 12, 2024 Accelerator Kickoff', 'December 5, 2024 Demo Day'. The page is headed 'Programs 2024' and lists an 'Accelerator 2024' cohort of 14 named builders. unit none; metered on wall-clock; one-time-grant

Composes with	Nil while closed. The composition that would matter is the one the corpus already records for Mozilla Foundation: the separate Human-Scale AI Incubator is live with a November 20, 2026 deadline and USD 300,000 base awards, so a builder who wants Mozilla money today goes there, not here.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded as dead rather than paid-only because the money is a grant, not a product, and because the site keeps the offer standing while no round exists: a reader who finds the page is told 'up to $100,000 in non-dilutive funding' with no indication that the door closed in 2024. The search that would distinguish them returned only the 2024 blog post and aggregator pages that repeat the 2024 dates, and the Foundation's own programme is a different legal entity with its own page, which supports the second reading without proving it.
