Accountant & Bookkeeper Partner Program

You see the fees. Turn them into referral income.

You reconcile the donation-processing fees and donor-tipping deductions on your clients' books every month, so you already know who overpays. Recommend CoreCause to cut those costs, and earn an ongoing monthly residual on every org that switches. Refer once, earn every month the client processes donations.

The Program

Built for how you actually work.

Not a generic affiliate scheme, not a quota-driven sales role. Designed around how nonprofit accountants and bookkeepers work with clients.

We do the implementation

You stay in your accounting role. Our team handles the demo, application, underwriting, and onboarding for the nonprofit you refer. No payments expertise required.

Disclosure-friendly

Built to be disclosed openly to your client. The same model firms use with payroll providers and software referrals. A transparent referral, no backroom arrangement.

Flexible arrangements

Want to help set up the donation flow, recurring giving, or brief the treasurer? Mention it in your intro and we tailor the arrangement to how you work.

Direct partner reporting

Monthly residual statements come straight from our partner team by email. Real humans on the partner side, not a ticketing queue.

No quotas, no exclusivity

Refer two clients a year or twenty. No minimums to keep status, no requirement to recommend only CoreCause. Your independence stays your own.

Real human support

When a referred client has a question or hits a wrinkle, you get a direct line into CoreCommerce, not a support ticket gauntlet.

How it works

From intro to first residual.

1

Sign up and onboard

Quick signup via the Become a Partner form. We confirm your practice, walk the program in a short call, and get you set up. Most partners are ready in one business day.

2

Refer a client org

When you spot a client overpaying on processing or losing money to platform donor tipping, refer them to CoreCause and we take it from there. Every referral is attributed to you for the life of the account.

3

Earn ongoing revenue

You earn a monthly share for every client account that stays on CoreCause. Not a one-time bounty. As your client book grows, the residual compounds underneath it.

Why accountants recommend it

What CoreCause gives the nonprofits you refer.

The things accountants and bookkeepers tell us matter most when they recommend which fundraising platform a client should be on.

🚫

No donor tipping. Ever.

Donors are never prompted to add a percentage on top of their gift to cover platform costs. Givebutter and Donorbox default-on a tip prompt that quietly redirects donor dollars away from the nonprofit.

💰

Transparent interchange-plus pricing.

You see what you actually pay: the interchange the card networks set, plus 0.50% + $0.15. No stacked platform fees, no hidden percentages.

🔁

Automatic Card Updater.

When a recurring supporter's card expires, CoreCause refreshes it through the card networks automatically. Most platforms make you chase the donor to re-enter it.

Next-business-day payouts.

Donations clear to the account by the next business day. Many donation platforms take several days, and some payout services take even longer.

📞

Real human support.

Email within one business hour. Real phone support, real account managers. Not a chatbot that loops back to a help article mid-campaign.

📝

No contracts. Cancel anytime.

Month-to-month. No setup fee on the Starter plan. The Free plan is genuinely free and never expires.

Questions

Partner program FAQ.

Because you already see the fees and tip deductions on your clients' books. Recommend CoreCause to cut those costs and earn a monthly residual on every org that switches. Just fill out the Become a Partner form and we will be in touch.
Accountants, bookkeepers, treasurers, and fractional CFOs who serve nonprofits and churches and see the processing and donor-tipping line items every month.
Not when handled transparently. Just disclose that you earn ongoing revenue if they sign up; most engagement letters already allow referral arrangements with disclosure, and the switch lowers their costs too.
Monthly ongoing revenue on every client org you refer that becomes a paid customer, for as long as they stay. The exact share is confirmed at onboarding and matched to how you refer.
No. You point the client to CoreCause and our team handles the demo, onboarding, and support. No payments expertise needed on your end.
Those are often the easiest referrals. Clients already on Givebutter, Donorbox, Tithe.ly, or Classy have the fees right there in the ledger, so pointing at the line item and recommending the switch closes fast.

Turn the fees you see into ongoing income.
