Scoped to paid nonprofit plans — check before you promise it.
Stated plainly: this is scoped to paid nonprofit plans.
Refer & Earn pays 20% of a referred organization's subscription fees for 12 months, and is stated as available on paid nonprofit plans. If referral matters to how your foundation supports a cohort, confirm eligibility on View Plans before relying on it.

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 — 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
Vendors imply every programme applies to every buyer, and a funder discovers the exception after promising it to grantees.
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 answer about scope, before you build a cohort programme around it.
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 — which also makes the platform work better for the referrer. Availability is stated for paid nonprofit plans.
Use ImpactMatrix when
You fund or convene organizations and want visibility into what they need plus evidence of what moved.
Use something else when
You need application intake, review scoring or payment scheduling — that stays in your grants system.
Where to go next
Same module, different job. Start with the org hub if you are still scoping.
Questions
Can a foundation earn referral revenue?
The programme is stated as available on paid nonprofit plans. Rather than guess, confirm on View Plans — we would rather say that than imply coverage we have not verified.
Can we encourage grantees to refer each other?
Grantees on paid nonprofit plans can use Refer & Earn themselves, which is a reasonable way to help a cohort offset tooling costs without a new grant line.
What does this cost a foundation?
Foundation plans use the same seat structure as nonprofit plans: $29.99 per month for a single user, then $24.99, $19.99 or $14.99 per user on Growth, Community and Enterprise. Thirty-day free trial, no credit card, ImpactVolunteer included.
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.
