Tab for a Cause is a browser extension that donates hearts to charity for every new tab opened while you surf the internet. It's totally free and legitimate.
In 2019, Tab for a Cause raised over $185,000 for nonprofits around the world, and over $50,000 of that was given to the 9 different charities chosen by Tabbers during our monthly Charity Spotlights.
They are holding a vote on reddit to see what charities will be included this year and Malaria Consortium is in the running! This is a wonderful opportunity.

Please vote for Malaria Consortium and spread the word.
