Turn your network into impact (and earnings!)

Better Giving makes it easy and rewarding to spread the word about a donation platform built with heart. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, consultant, or just someone who believes in better ways to give, here's how you can share and earn through the referral program:

✅ Who can join

Anyone with a Better Giving account – donors, consultants, influencers, nonprofits.

✅ How to Find Your Referral Link/Code

  • Log in to your Better Giving account.

  • Head over to the ‘My Referral’ section of your dashboard.

  • You’ll see your unique referral link and code ready to use.

  • Simply copy your referral link or code and share it anywhere!

  • Every time someone signs up using your link or code, it will be tracked back to your account, so you get the credit.

✅ Where to Share It

You can share your referral link pretty much anywhere your community is:

  • LinkedIn or Twitter/X posts

  • (Example: “Nonprofits, if you’re not using @BetterGiving yet, you’re missing out. Free donation forms, smart investment tools. Sign up here: [referral_link]”)

  • Facebook groups or community forums

  • Email newsletters to your network or nonprofit clients

  • Blog posts or resource pages

  • Slack/Discord/WhatsApp groups

  • 1:1 DMs with nonprofit peers and partners

Make it personal! Tell people why you like Better Giving and how it’s helped you.

✅ How Earnings and Payouts Work

  • For every qualified nonprofit or organization that signs up through your link, you’ll earn a referral bonus once they begin actively using Better Giving.

  • When you add your bank details, you'll also have to complete some forms for IRS tax compliance.

  • The bonus amount and payout structure may vary based on promotions, but details will be shown in your Referral Dashboard.

  • We process payouts monthly, directly to your account.

  • You can track all referral activity and earnings inside your Referral Dashboard.

✅ What if a nonprofit forgets to use my link or code?

If they clicked your referral link within the last 90 days (on the same browser/device), we automatically track the referral using a cookie.

If not, they can manually enter your referral code during signup.

If they’ve already signed up, they can reach out to us and we’ll help apply the referral credit.

Better Giving uses a first-click attribution model, meaning the first referrer gets credit, even if others send links later.
