Volunteers, choir members, club regulars: everyone chips in what they want, whatever day they come in, and nobody sees who gave what. The person you thank picks their own gift and reads a KadoBook of everyone's names and messages.
Add the person you're thanking, or several leaders, and set each one's share. It takes about two minutes.
Invite the group
Invite people by e-mail from the app, so the reminders reach them, and post the link in the group's chat or newsletter or print the QR code for the noticeboard. Everyone chips in by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with no app or account.
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
The person you thank receives it in the KadoPool app, with the KadoBook of everyone's names and messages.
Everyone chips in when it suits them and is named in the KadoBook. With the free app, they add a message.
Several leaders, one pool
Add each person you want to thank and set their share. Each one receives their own gift, privately.
Help your nonprofit too
Link the pool to it and KadoPool gives it 30% of our fee. If it hasn't joined KadoPool yet, we invite it and keep its share for it for 12 months. It never comes out of the gift.
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
When do they get the gift?
When you send it from the app, once the pool has closed. Set the closing date for the day before you want them to have it, and send it on the day. They don't need an account first: they get one e-mail with the gift and open it in the free KadoPool app.
Do volunteers need the app?
No. They chip in from the link on any phone or computer. Only you, to set up and send the gift, and the person you thank, to open it, use the app.
What if the person we thank is a public employee?
Gift rules for public employees vary. Check theirs before you start.
More questions
Can we thank several people?
Yes. Add each person and set their share. Each one receives their own gift, privately.
Who gets the reminders?
The people you invited by e-mail from the app who haven't chipped in yet, about 3 days and 12 hours before the closing date. Someone who only saw the link in a group chat gets none, so invite people by e-mail too.
Do I hold the money?
No. Payments go through Stripe, never to you. As the organizer, you never touch the money.
