#Free Money Day
(A more generous world is possible)
Every year on September 15th, people across the world hand out their own money to complete strangers (virtually or in-person), asking recipients to pass half on to someone else. An experiment in generosity, Free Money Day invites a questioning of our relationship to money. Are you daring enough to give it a try?
How to get involved
You have three options to take part in Free Money Day:
1. Leave money as a surprise
Spark the spirit of generosity by hiding two banknotes with a message to pass one on.
Write a note + find a location + leave money for someone to find!
2. Share money in person
Galvanize and inspire your community by setting up an event in your local area.
Find a public place + give out two coins or notes at a time!
3. Give away money digitally
Connect with people across the world by giving money digitally or hosting a virtual event.
Select recipients + send money via a digital payment platform!
