How the program works

  1. 1
    You get a unique referral code
    Auto-generated when you become an org admin. Looks like STMARYS-9F2K. It's yours forever — share via email, social, your school's newsletter, in conversation.
  2. 2
    A school signs up using your code
    They enter it during the signup flow, or use your unique link, or mention you in their initial conversation with us. We attribute the referral to you.
  3. 3
    They become a paying customer
    The referral isn't for sign-ups, it's for paying customers. Schools usually convert within 30-60 days of signup if they're going to.
  4. 4
    You get $100
    Once the referral is verified, your reward is issued from our payout queue — a check mailed to your school, or a Tremendous gift card you redeem however you like.
💡
No caps
Refer 10 schools, earn $1,000. Refer 50 schools, earn $5,000. We're a small bootstrapped product and word-of-mouth from real principals matters more than any ad we could buy. We'd rather pay you than Google.

Who counts as a referral

You earn for any new school that:

  • Wasn't already a TSNC customer (no double-dipping if their diocese was already signed up)
  • Becomes a paying customer (sign-ups that don't convert don't pay out)
  • Used your code, link, or named you during the signup conversation

Enterprise-level referrals pay $500

If you refer an entire diocese or archdiocese (multiple schools under one umbrella), the payout is $500, not $100. See the Enterprise refer-and-earn page.

How to refer effectively

The best referrals come from real conversations. A few patterns that work:

  • Diocesan principal meetings — when the topic of cybersecurity or phishing comes up, share your experience.
  • Email to a peer principal — "We've been using TSNC for 6 months and I think you'd like it. Here's my referral link."
  • Conference recommendations — at events like NCEA, principals exchange tools they like. TSNC is small enough that we don't have a booth — your word matters.
  • Email blast to peer schools — only if your school does this kind of cross-school communication regularly. Don't spam.

Getting paid

Organization referral rewards are tracked and issued from a payout queue once the referral is verified — not paid out automatically. You have two options:

  • Check by mail — a paper check sent to your school.
  • Tremendous gift card — a digital reward link you redeem however you like (many gift-card brands, or bank/PayPal transfer, depending on availability).

We'll confirm the details with you when your first reward is ready.

FAQ

What if my school doesn't accept outside payments?+
Use the "Credit on your TSNC bill" option. The earned amount reduces your school's subscription cost, no money changes hands. Most schools find this is the easiest fit with their procurement rules.
Can a teacher refer schools?+
Yes. Teachers have their own referral path: a teacher who refers their school earns $100 when it becomes a paying customer, and our "First Teacher is Free" program gives each school's first teacher a free individual account with their own referral code. Org admins (Principals and IT Admins) also each have a code. See the teacher Refer & Earn flow for details.
Is there a referral code expiration?+
No. Your code is yours for as long as you're an org admin at any TSNC school. If you change schools, your code follows you.
What if my referral signs up but the relationship ends after a few months?+
Your $100 is paid out and yours, regardless of what happens to the referred school later. We don't claw back referral payments.
Are there any restrictions on who I can refer?+
Yes — basic anti-fraud rules: you can't refer your own school, and you can't refer schools you have a financial conflict of interest with (e.g., you're on their board). For everything else, refer freely.
