## Types

### GivingPool

A Giving Pool represents a named giving pool within a donor's DAF account (e.g. "Smith Family Fund" within a Fidelity Charitable account). Giving Pools are optional — not every DAF models giving pools, and even within DAFs that do, a [Donor Account](/api/donor-accounts) may exist without any Giving Pools. When present, a Donor Account may have one or more Giving Pools. Each Giving Pool belongs to exactly one Donor Account via `donor_account_id`.

- `id` (string, required) — The unique identifier for this Giving Pool.
- `name` (string, required) — The display name of the Giving Pool. This is the name that the Donor will see when they are selecting a Giving Pool in DAFpay.
- `donor_account_id` (string, required) — The ID of the [Donor Account](/api/donor-accounts) this Giving Pool belongs to.
- `created_at` (datetime, required) — Time when this object was created, expressed in RFC 3339 format.
- `updated_at` (datetime, required) — Time when this object was last updated, expressed in RFC 3339 format.
- `metadata` (map from string to string, optional) — A map of arbitrary string keys and values to store information about the object.
