As of April 2022, OutBüro now offers as part of a Monthy or Yearly membership, the option to be an OutBüro affiliate/influencer. As an LGBTQ+ community non-profit, you/it, have persons or other organizations you serve as part of your mission. All non-profits need funds to operate and most LGBTQ+ non-profits scrape by to meet the needs of the community it serves, let alone provide staff with competitive wages. How about adding an additional residual income source to the mix?
“Oh, but we are a non-profit we cannot MAKE money,” I sometimes hear. Hogwash! Your financial person can classify the commissions as a donation. Your non-profit supporters, if they sign up under your referring account are paying for a service in which a portion of the proceeds is being gifted to the organization. Call it income, or call it your supporters supporting you/it in yet another way. Those supporters who also join as an affiliate/influencer is further supporting your organization as you earn 3 levels deep.
