Grow your impact, together.

When nonprofits help each other thrive, everyone benefits. Refer other organizations to modernize their finances and earn a bonus for every qualified referral.

How it works

Earn more when you bring another nonprofit.

Invite a mission-minded org to Devote. When they open and fund, you get a temporary APY boost — and more rewards if you keep referring.

Current base APY
2.50%
1st successful referral
Boosted APY
for 90 days

+0.25% boost on balances up to $5,000,000 for 90 days once your referral deposits at least $25,000.

  • They must complete onboarding
  • Account stays active for 90 days
  • You maintain ≥ $10,000 balance
2nd & every referral after
$50
per qualified org

Keep referring to earn even more! Every additional qualified nonprofit earns you a $50 credit/bonus.

Qualifed = onboarded + $25,000+ new funds.

Referral Program FAQs

Everything you need to know to start referring

What is the referral APY boost?▾
A +0.25% APY promotional increase applied to your current Devote Savings base rate for 90 days after a qualified referral. It floats with the base rate (e.g., if base is 2.50%, your promo rate is 2.75% during the period).
What counts as a qualified referral?▾
A new nonprofit that (1) completes onboarding, (2) deposits at least $25,000 in net new funds, and (3) keeps the account active for the full 90-day promo period.
How long does the boost last and can I renew it?▾
Each boost lasts 90 days. There’s no stacking, but you can renew the 90-day window by bringing another qualified referral before it ends.
Is there a balance limit for the boost?▾
Yes. The +0.25% applies to balances up to $5,000,000 per organization during the promo period.
Do I need to maintain a minimum balance?▾
To keep the boost active, maintain at least a $10,000 average daily balance. If your balance drops below this for an extended period, the promo may end early.
Do both organizations receive an APY boost?▾
The referrer receives the +0.25% APY boost for 90 days. The referred org earns Devote’s current base APY right away. After your first referral, you earn $50 per additional qualified org.
How are the $50 rewards paid for additional referrals?▾
As a Devote account credit (or donation credit to your org, when available) for each additional qualified nonprofit you bring on. Simple, predictable, and separate from APY.
When will my promo rate show up?▾
After your referral qualifies, the boost typically appears in your Devote portal within a few business days and runs for 90 days from qualification.
What if the base APY changes during my promo?▾
Your boost is always calculated as +0.25% over the then-current base rate. If the base changes, your promo rate adjusts accordingly for the remainder of the 90-day period.
Any other restrictions I should know about?▾
Boosts do not stack; fraudulent or self-referrals don’t qualify; transfers from another Devote account don’t count as new funds. Devote may modify or discontinue the program with notice.
Who is eligible to participate?▾
Active Devote Savings customers in good standing. Referred organizations must be U.S. nonprofits that complete onboarding requirements.
