At WeHero, we’re constantly looking for new creative ways to help companies and individuals generate impact towards the causes they care about with ease. So, we got to thinking… how can we take something that people do everyday, and convert that activity into donations, without costing the end user a penny.
Tabbing. For those of us who use a web browser (who doesn’t), you’re likely opening new tabs regularly. In a survey of over 1000 people, the average person had more than 20 tabs open on their browser and used a computer almost every day of the year. That’s an estimated 7300 tabs a year! The question then became how do we take this activity and convert it into good.Enter, the WeHero Chrome Extension. The WeHero Chrome extension transforms your “new tab” page. Each time you open a tab, you will be greeted with a new image, the amount raised, and a couple of banner ads. We collect ad revenue from the page and use it to donate to the causes you are supporting!
We’ve now also given companies the ability to add their employees and get their teams involved. “It’s like a free corporate social responsibility platform,” says the CEO of Volunteer Match.How much money will you and your company raise for charities just by browsing the web? Find out today!
Happy Giving,
The WeHero Team
