A class gift that stays within your district's rules.
Every family chips in, privately, up to the limit you set. Anything above goes to your PTA, as a donation in the teacher's honor.
Set the limits
Start a Teacher pool and turn on Limit what people give: the most per family, the most for the whole gift, or both.
Families chip in, privately
Nobody sees who gave what. Families can join from a link or a QR code, without the app.
The rest goes to your PTA
Once the gift is full, families can still give. It goes to your PTA as a donation in the teacher's honor, in the same payment, and the teacher is told.
Your PTA gets more
Link the class gift to your PTA and KadoPool gives it 30% of our fee. It never comes out of the gift.
A keepsake for the classroom
Add a KadoFrame: a poster of the year's photos and names, sent to the teacher. Many keep one from every class.
For PTA boards
Your PTA must be a 501(c)(3) to receive donations. Claim your PTA's page on KadoPool: we check its IRS status, then class parents can link their gifts to it. Flyers and postcards for your class parents are ready to print.
Questions
Does the teacher see who gave what?
No. The teacher sees the total and every message in the KadoBook, never who gave how much.
What limit should we set?
Your district's rules decide. Set the most per family and for the whole gift, and KadoPool won't take more for the gift.
Is any of it tax-deductible?
The gift to the teacher isn't a donation. What goes to your PTA is: your PTA sends each donor a tax receipt after the gift closes.
Our PTA isn't on KadoPool yet.
The gift works anyway, with its limits. Ask your PTA to claim its page so families can give the rest to it.
Does it work for a private school?
Yes, as a class gift. Limits are optional there; the donation part works with any school or PTA that is a verified nonprofit on KadoPool.
