Money for Monkeys

One of the coolest gifts I have ever been given was some Chimp money.
chimp money is not a currency that is used by chimps.
Chimp is a online tool that allows you to give money away in a fun and thoughtful way.
I got an email one day saying that my friend gave me $30 to give away through chimp.
I signed up and there it was, thirty big ones, sitting in my account ready to be given to any registered charity I wanted.  I spent half an hour looking through different charities that I like.  I think I gave that first gift to a ministry called Gospel for Asia.  Since then, I have been able to use chimp as a platform to share the fun of giving with others and to help my wife and I give more thoughtfully.
Another thing i love about chimp; when I give to chimp, I get one tax receipt at the end of the year and I can give to organizations anonomously so I don't end up on lots of mailing lists, even though it feels cool to get mail.

Chimp is one little tool that can help create a culture of generosity.
