Group gifts, without the chase

A volunteer appreciation gift, from every shift

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.

How it works

Start the pool in the free KadoPool app

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 in, whatever their shift

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

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.

Can we thank several people?

Yes. Add each person and set their share. Each one receives their own gift, privately.

What if the person we thank is a public employee?

Gift rules for public employees vary. Check theirs before you start.

Do I hold the money?

No. Payments go through Stripe, never to you. As the organizer, you never touch the money.

Start the thank-you gift

Free to organize. Everyone chips in from the link, no app needed.
