Refer for Good is a curated list of the best sign-up bonuses and referral programs available right now — with one twist: every commission I earn from your sign-up goes directly into Kiva.org microloans for entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Who runs this
I’m Shawn, based in Northern California. I’ve been obsessed with referral programs, sign-up bonuses, and cash back portals for years — I actively manage a portfolio of 30–70+ referral programs and keep close track of which ones are genuinely worth your time and which have expired or changed.
Refer for Good is something I run because I genuinely use these tools myself, and I like the idea of turning something typically self-interested – collecting sign-up bonuses – into something that funds real people and real businesses around the world.
What this site is and isn’t
**It is:** A hand-curated, regularly updated list of referral bonuses I’ve personally vetted. Every link here is one I’d send to a friend.
Where the commissions go
Every referral commission this site earns goes to Kiva.org. I track this and will regularly update the numbers on the Our Impact page. Since starting this project, we’ve funded over $11,775 in microloans across 21 countries.
