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
Referral programmes get sold as universal and then turn out to be scoped to one buyer type.
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, and the right pricing route for a vendor.
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 can serve humanitarian and disaster demand and want to be found at the moment of need.
Use something else when
You need tender management, e-procurement workflow or warehouse management.
Where to go next
Same module, different job. Start with the org hub if you are still scoping.
Questions
Is Refer & Earn open to suppliers?
It is stated as available on paid nonprofit plans. Confirm on View Plans before building it into a commercial plan — the honest answer is that it was designed for nonprofit-to-nonprofit growth.
What is the growth route for a supplier?
Posted capacity, presence in hazard-specific supply search, and confirmed fulfilment records. Buyers return to suppliers with proof, not to suppliers with referral links.
What does this cost a supplier?
Supplier pricing is by annual revenue tier, then per seat within that tier: $199/seat (Small Vendor, 1–10 seats), $499/seat (Regional Vendor, up to 25), $999/seat (National Vendor, up to 50) and $1,499/seat (Enterprise Vendor, up to 100), each with a matching monthly token allowance. Strategic Partner is by custom quote. The 30-day free trial requires no credit card, which is the cheapest way to see whether the demand on the network fits what you stock.
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.
