To chip in means to contribute to some cause or project. You can chip in $5 for an office party or chip in to get a coworker a birthday present. You can chip in with your talents, skills, or expertise; you can also chip in with your opinions during a discussion. In addition, when you volunteer or help out in some way, you're essentially chipping in.
These days, it's increasingly common to be asked to chip in online to help a cause, and people are chipping in to support their favorite organizations. For example, if you care about the environment, you've probably chipped in a few dollars to help preserve it. So, do you chip in on a regular basis? What causes are you passionate about? Have you been asked to chip in lately?
Here are more examples of how and when we chip in.
