Many Jews give donations in increments of $18. This tradition arose because in traditional Judaism eighteen is the numerical value of the Hebrew word "chai" which means "life" and Judaism is a religion that emphasizes the importance of life. Jews are encouraged to be good, ethical people (mensches) and enjoy the time they are given on earth. Thus giving in increments of $18 symbolically bestows the recipient of the gift with blessings for a good long life. When giving to an organization in increments of $18, the tzedakah expresses a prayer that the person giving the gift or the person whom the gift is in honor of will be “sealed in the Book of Life."
Others consider 18 to be a magical number: "Since 18 is 3 x 6, and 2 x 9, and therefore is also 2 x 3 x 3, it is a magic number. When you consider that 18 is a combination of the two numbers 1 and 8, and 1 + 8 = 9, or 3 x 3 x 3, then you can see its obvious magicalness." (quoted from Yahoo Answers)
