How it works

Start a Pool. Attract a crowd. Make waves.

Poola turns any cause, project or idea into a Pool — then makes it effortless for people to back it with money and everything else they have to give.

The big idea

Two numbers on every Pool: Funds & People Power.

Money matters — but so do skills, time, resources and voices. Poola tracks both, so a Pool that’s 17% funded and 83% powered by people is finally a success story you can see.

Pool Starters launch the campaign. Poolers dive in to back it. Everyone can watch the progress, the updates and the impact in real time.

NewsPool

Every Pool has a story worth telling.

The in-app Newsroom spotlights Pools from around the world — a church rebuilding its roof, a run across the USA for cancer research, elders kept warm through winter.

Stories build trust and keep people coming back — fixing the 75% who never return to a campaign again.
