The Pool is a community of business leaders, founders, and entrepreneurs who donate a portion of their shares in private companies to support our operations and provide a unique employee benefit.
This new program is the first to use proceeds from IPOs and other liquidity events to retain and reward nonprofit employees. It is also the newest way to power our 100% model so that all public donations can go directly to providing clean water for people in need.
