For illustration purposes, we will use as an example. We need to visit the Brave Creator's website to enable monthly contributions or give tips. We are leaving this off so we can control how much BAT we donate and to whom. We can enable Auto-Contribute if we want to donate BAT to any Brave Creator website we visit. (I chose to get the maximum number of ads.) We configure the settings per our preferences. We go to the Ads section and click the ads settings button. We click the Brave Rewards icon and click the "Rewards Settings" link. We can also type brave://rewards/ into the address bar. Once enabled, we can access the Brave Rewards settings by clicking the Brave Rewards icon to the address bar's right.

We are also prompted to enable Brave Rewards. We are given the option to do a welcome tour which we can skip if desired. We run the installer as we typically would on our operating system. We will review how to set up the Brave Browser, opting in for Brave Rewards, and setting up monthly BAT contributions. We need to take some steps to start contributing BAT to a non-profit. A non-profit can start earning BAT when it registers as a Brave Creator, and Brave browser users contribute BAT. Brave Creators earn BAT whenever someone visits one of their websites, gets a tip, or receives a designated monthly contribution. We can also choose to contribute BAT to any Brave Creator. We can choose to exchange BAT for a fiat currency (e.g., USD), hold them until they appreciate in value, or spend them on a service that uses BAT. Whenever we get an ad notification, we are compensated with an amount of the Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency. They anonymously serve ads as browser notifications. To fund their development, Brave has a reward program. It blocks trackers, ads, and other things that invade our privacy. The Brave browser was designed with privacy and speed in mind.

Anyone using Google Chrome would feel at home with the Brave browser. This is the same base that the Google Chrome browser uses. The browser is based on the Chromium browser. That becomes $12 per year that we can donate by doing what we already do. Even if we can earn five cents per hour when using a browser, we can donate at least $1 per month. Some of us probably use a web browser six to eight hours a day for work reasons. We probably spend at least one to two hours using a web browser for personal reasons. We can achieve it through cryptocurrencies. Imagine that every time we do anything on a web browser, we support our favorite non-profits. We can support a school, a religious organization, and any non-profit by simply doing what we already do: browsing the web.
