Earn credits when vendors you invite create a profile and apply to events. This rewards organizers who help grow the local vendor network.

  • Vendors must apply to at least one event before counting.
  • Community Cork may review rewards for duplicate, fake, or self-created vendor accounts.

Organizer Referral Rewards

Invite another organizer to Community Cork. When they create an organization and publish a qualifying first event, both organizations can earn credits.

Program details
  • Referral must be tracked through an eligible referral link or code.
  • The invited organizer must create a separate organization.
  • The invited organization must publish a qualifying first event.

  • Eligible submissions are reviewed by Community Cork.
  • Implemented feedback may qualify for credits or recognition.

Programs are designed to reward real community growth. Community Cork may review activity before issuing credits. Credits are not cash and cannot be exchanged for refunds.
