What Refer & Earn is
Refer & Earn is the ImpactMatrix referral programme, available on paid nonprofit plans. A referring organization earns 20% of the referred organization's subscription fees for 12 months, tracked as Lifetime, Pending and Paid out, and paid through Stripe after connecting a bank account. Bank details are used only for Refer & Earn payouts.
What you can do
Real button and tab names \u2014 the module is the same for everyone; what you do with it is not.
Share it where you already talk to peer organizations.
For organizations arriving through the volunteer side.
Send it to the director you have already had this conversation with.
Payouts through Stripe; bank details used only for this.
Why this matters for your organization type
The problem
Student-run programmes get designed around a revenue line that turns out not to apply to the institution.
What the platform does
A referring organization earns 20% of the referred organization's subscription fees for 12 months, tracked as Lifetime, Pending and Paid out, and paid through Stripe after connecting a bank account. Bank details are used only for Refer & Earn payouts.
What you walk away with
A clear scope statement before a programme is built on an assumption.
Not an affiliate scheme bolted on
Generic affiliate tools pay strangers for signups. This pays organizations for bringing partners they already coordinate with onto the same network \u2014 which also makes the platform work better for the referrer. Availability is stated for paid nonprofit plans.
Use ImpactMatrix when
You have campus surplus, student capacity or preparedness work to resource.
Use something else when
You need curriculum delivery, attendance or student information management.
Where to go next
Same module, different job. Start with the org hub if you are still scoping.
Questions
Can a university earn referral revenue?
The programme is stated as available on paid nonprofit plans, so confirm on View Plans for an academia plan. Institutional policy on revenue-sharing is worth checking at the same time.
Can community partners refer each other?
Partners on paid nonprofit plans can use Refer & Earn themselves, which is a practical way for a campus-convened network to offset its own tooling costs.
What does this cost a campus?
Academia shares the business plan catalog and is priced per seat: $9.99/seat up to 100 seats, $5.00/seat up to 500, $2.00/seat up to 2,500 and $1.00/seat up to 10,000, with the largest institutions by custom quote. Every seat is invitable, and you invite students and staff from your seat allotment. The 30-day free trial requires no credit card, and ImpactVolunteer is included with every subscription.
Can organizations earn revenue for referrals?
Yes. On paid ImpactMatrix nonprofit plans, Refer & Earn pays 20% of a referred organization's subscription fees for 12 months. Earnings show as Lifetime, Pending and Paid out totals, and payouts are made through Stripe once a bank account is connected.
