Refer a Nonprofit. Earn for Life.
Know a nonprofit, church, school, or community organization stuck paying a percentage of every gift to a donor-tipping platform? Refer them to CoreCause and earn ongoing revenue tied to their account for as long as they stay a customer.
How the 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, not a ticketing system.
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.
Ready to Earn for Every Nonprofit You Send Our Way?
Become a CoreCause partner. Setup usually within 1 business day.
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.
Frequently asked questions
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 consultants
Strategists 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 & CPAs
Accountants who serve nonprofit and faith clients. You see their statements every month. When you spot a Givebutter, Donorbox, or Tithe.ly line item eating 4-7% of donations, you have a referral opportunity.
Board members & volunteers
Long-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 & agencies
Designers 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 leaders
Denominational 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 network
Retired 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.
