A thank-you from everyone at once
The mentor who opened doors, the neighbor who took in the mail for a month, the host family, the team that pulled everyone through: gather everyone who's grateful in one pool, and one KadoBook says what a dozen thank-you texts can't.
How it works for whoever gathers everyone
Start the pool in the free KadoPool app
Add the person, or each person on the team, and set their shares.
Invite everyone who wants to say thanks
By e-mail from the app, and in the group chat.
Let the reminders do the chasing
With automatic reminders on, KadoPool nudges the people you invited by e-mail who haven't chipped in yet, about 3 days and 12 hours before the closing date. You see who has chipped in, never who gave what.
Send the gift
They open it in the KadoPool app, with the KadoBook of everyone's thanks.

Free to organize, in about two minutes. Everyone chips in from the link, with no app.
When many people owe one person
One gift and one KadoBook of messages say more than a dozen separate thank-yous.
Check their workplace's rules
Gift rules for public employees vary, and some workplaces limit what staff may accept. Check before you start.
Or give in their honor
If they'd rather you support a cause, people can give to a charity in their honor, and they receive the KadoBook. How donation pools work
What they receive
Prepaid cards or gift cards: they choose
Prepaid cards they spend wherever the card is accepted (up to $999 each; the rest as gift cards), gift cards they pick, or a mix. See the gift cards
Everyone can add a photo
On US pools, each person can add one with their message, in the app or on the website after paying. You choose which ones to keep.
A KadoClip: the messages as a short video
Set to music, from $2.49 per recipient, or with the photos, from $3.99. You see the price before you choose.
Play the sample KadoClip from the messages
Play the sample KadoClip with photosThe KadoBook, free with every gift
Every message on its own page, with the names of the people who chipped in, kept in the app for two years.
A KadoPrint: the KadoClip, printed
The messages and photos you keep, printed and sent to each person you thank. You see its price, with shipping, in the app.
A KadoFrame: the poster
The photos everyone added, as one 18 × 24 in poster in the gift's style, with every name. Printed, rolled in a tube and sent to each person you thank. You see its price, with shipping, in the app.
Why KadoPool for a thank-you
- The card is built in. Every message goes in a KadoBook, free with every gift, and a KadoClip can turn the messages and photos into a short video.
- Private by design. Nobody sees who gave what, not even the organizer. The total stays hidden until enough people have chipped in that no amount can be guessed.
- A gift that gives twice. Link the pool to a school, club or nonprofit and KadoPool gives it 30% of our fee, never taken from the gift. Or give to a charity in someone's honor.
What it costs
Organizing is free. Each payment carries the card processing and KadoPool's 2% fee: about $1.53 on a $25 gift. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing
Questions
Can we thank a whole team?
Yes. Add each person and set their share. Each one receives their own gift, privately.
What if the person is a public employee?
Gift rules for public employees vary. Check theirs before you start.
Can they thank everyone back?
Yes. They can send one thank-you note to everyone from the app.
What do we need from the person we thank?
Their e-mail address: any one they read, a work or school address included. The gift goes there, and they open it in the free KadoPool app with that address. If it was mistyped, you can correct it in the app.
Start the thank-you gift
Everyone who's grateful chips in from one link, and one KadoBook holds every thank-you.
