Earn While You Build: The Foundry Partner Program
The Foundry isn’t just another platform—it’s a launchpad for purpose-driven founders. Now, you can earn real rewards by referring like-minded entrepreneurs and organizations to join.
This isn’t an open affiliate free-for-all. Only Foundry members can refer new members, ensuring that mission-first people—not opportunistic marketers—are driving our community.
How it Works
1. Become a Foundry Member
Join any paid plan (DWY or DFY).
2. Complete Your First 30 Days
Pass the 30-day money-back guarantee, and you become eligible to refer to your network.
3. Get Approved to Refer
Get a unique link and track your referrals in real-time. Each referral will be paid out for up to six consecutive months with continuous enrollment from both parties (your organization and the partner referral).
Partner Program Commission Structure
| Plan Reffered | 1st Payout | Recurring for 6 Months | Who Can Refer |
| DWY ($99/month) | 50% ($49.50) | 20% ($19.80) | Any active Foundry member |
| DFY ($1987/month) | 25% ($496.75) | 5% ($99.35/month) | Only DWY or DFY members |
Streamlined Payouts, No Hidden Fees
Unlike other platforms that nickel-and-dime you, The Foundry covers processing fees within its partner program. Your commissions are yours to keep—no unexpected deductions.
Every referral helps another ethical business or nonprofit gain visibility, raise funds, and grow their movement. You’re not just making money—you’re building something bigger than yourself.

🤔 Who can join the Foundry Partner Program?
Only active Foundry paid members (DWY or DFY) can participate. This ensures referrals come from people who understand and believe in our mission, not just random affiliate marketers chasing commissions.
💰 How do payouts work??
- DWY referrals: 50% first payout, then 20% recurring for up to 6 months.
- DFY referrals: 25% first payout, then 5% recurring for up to 6 months.
- Payouts are processed monthly, and they cover Stripe fees, so what you see is what you get.
⏳ Why do I need to complete 30 days before referring?
This rule prevents people from gaming the system, joining just to grab commissions, and leaving. It keeps our program high-quality and mission-driven.
🌎 Can I refer anyone, or only certain types of members?
- DWY members can refer both DWY and DFY members.
- DFY members can refer DFY members only (higher-tier plan = bigger investment).
📢 What’s the best way to refer people?
- Share your personal story—why did you join The Foundry?
- Focus on people who actually need the tools and support The Foundry provides.
- Use your unique referral link to ensure you get credit for signups.
🔍 Where can I track my referrals and commissions?
Inside your Foundry dashboard, you’ll have a real-time tracking system to see who signed up, what plan they chose, and how much you’ve earned.
📅 What happens after I’ve earned 6 months of recurring commissions?
After 6 months, commissions for that specific referral stop. However, you can continue referring new members and earning commissions on them. Your past referrals also remain part of The Foundry, meaning they might upgrade or refer others, which strengthens the overall network—just without additional commissions for you on their ongoing payments.
