Refer a Nonprofit. Earn for Life.

Know a nonprofit, church, or school whose donors get asked for a tip at checkout? Refer them and earn ongoing revenue for as long as they stay.

What they get

What the nonprofits you refer actually use.

Campaigns, giving totals and donor records in one place, with next business day payouts.

You are recommending something you can see, not a logo on a slide.

How the Nonprofit Referral Program Works

Simple, transparent, and built so the people who connect us to good nonprofits are the ones who benefit.

1. Sign up in 2 minutes

Drop us a short note at sales@corecommerce.com about who you are and how you plan to refer. We reply, confirm payout structure, and set up the partnership. Most partners are set up within 1 business day.

2. Refer a nonprofit

Introduce any nonprofit, church, school, booster club, or community organization to CoreCause by email, loop us into a thread, or send a warm intro. They sign up, pick a plan, and start accepting donations, and the account is attributed to you for the lifetime of the relationship.

3. Earn ongoing

You earn an ongoing monthly residual on the account for as long as the nonprofit remains a CoreCause customer. Not a one-time bounty, lifetime revenue that compounds as you refer more.

Transparent reporting

You get monthly residual statements direct from our team. Email us any time about status of a pending referral, real humans on the partner side.

We do the closing

You connect us, we handle the demo, onboarding, and ongoing support. You stay focused on the relationship.

No quotas, no exclusivity

Refer one nonprofit a year or fifty. No monthly minimums. No requirement that you sell only CoreCause.

Real human support

Direct line to our partner team. No ticket-system runaround when a referral has a question or hits a snag.

Flexible partner arrangements

If your model involves more hands-on delivery for the client, building donation pages, setting up recurring giving, training staff, tell us in your intro email and we will tailor the partner arrangement to how you actually work.

Donor-Covered Fees

Donors cover the fees. The nonprofits you refer keep the whole gift.

A simple option at checkout that most donors are glad to say yes to. CoreCause never prompts donors to tip the platform.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Anyone. Board members, consultants, bookkeepers, web designers, church staff, volunteers, or anyone with a network of community orgs.
Email sales@corecommerce.com and we set up the partner relationship and confirm payout. When a nonprofit you introduce joins a paid plan, you earn ongoing revenue for as long as they stay a customer.
Payout is shared on the partner onboarding call and tailored to how you refer, whether one-off referrals or ongoing introductions through a network.
No. No fee to join, no referral minimum, and no course to buy. Just email sales@corecommerce.com and start referring.
That is often the best referral. Nonprofits already on Givebutter, Donorbox, or Tithe.ly usually know what bugs them, and CoreCause is the switch.
By the email introduction. Email or copy sales@corecommerce.com on the intro and the account is attributed to you.

Who Refers Nonprofits to CoreCause

You do not have to be in fundraising or payments to refer. These are the people already doing it well.

Nonprofit consultantsStrategists and grant writers who already advise nonprofit clients on operations, tooling, and donor strategy. Adding a CoreCause referral to your engagement is a natural value-add that pays you ongoing without changing your delivery.
Bookkeepers & CPAsAccountants who serve nonprofit and faith clients. You see their statements every month. When you spot a Givebutter, Donorbox, or Tithe.ly line item eating 4 to 7% of donations, you have a referral opportunity.
Board members & volunteersLong-tenured board members and committee chairs who quietly know what their org pays for fundraising tech. Referring CoreCause to your own board is allowed and encouraged, and pays you ongoing while the org keeps more of its donations.
Web designers & agenciesDesigners building or refreshing nonprofit websites. CoreCause embeds cleanly via donation links, QR codes, and forms. Refer the platform along with the rebuild and earn ongoing on the recurring transaction relationship.
Church network leadersDenominational staff, network organizers, and ministry coaches whose church plants need a tithing platform without the Tithe.ly subscription stack. Refer the network and earn for every church that joins.
Anyone with a nonprofit networkRetired nonprofit executives, donor-relations professionals, frequent donors who serve on multiple boards. If you know nonprofits, you know which ones are stuck paying too much for fundraising software. The referral path is the same.
