Your charity as a referral partner
Your charity joins like any referral partner. Supporters share your link, and when a business pays for an introduction, it pays your charity directly.

Charities & giving
Turn your community's recommendations into funding.
When your supporters recommend local businesses they already trust, those businesses can pay your charity for the introduction. Charities join free. ClearCut Commissions keeps the record, so everyone sees what was earned and paid.
Three ways giving works
Businesses that pledge
A business can pledge a donation for every customer its partners bring in, for example $10 to a local food bank.
Available now
Partners who give their reward
A partner will be able to have their reward paid to a registered Canadian charity instead of to them.
Coming soon
Giving that keeps going.
One recommendation can keep helping. On programs that pay every month or every term, your charity receives a payment each time the customer continues, recorded on your statement.
Free for charities
Charities never pay to join as referral partners.

Why it suits charities

You see each introduction, what it earned and when it was paid.
Supporters stay private
We don't store the names of the people they refer.
How it stays clean
Every business reviewed
We check each business exists and its program reads clearly. We don't vouch for its products or services.
We never hold money
The business pays directly, and records it.
Check with your advisors
Charity rules on business activities apply. We ask each charity to confirm the fit with its own advisors before joining.
