Can I refer my own company?

Do I receive a tax benefit for this donation?
No, Sparrow will provide the donation directly to Paid Leave for All and Moms First, via Our Change Foundation.
How is the donation amount determined?
The donation amount is determined by the company headcount. This is calculated based on benefits-eligible employees in the U.S. & Canada (except Quebec) and is confirmed when the contract closes.
When will the referral payment be made?
Sparrow will make the donation once your referred company becomes a Sparrow customer and completes Sparrow’s standard onboarding process. We will keep you updated on our progress, and let you know when they become a client and complete the onboarding process (or if they don’t). Our sales cycles range from 60 to 180 days, but your referral will be valid for nine months from the date of referral.
How long will Sparrow’s referral program continue?
Sparrow expects to offer its referral program for at least one year from the date that we launch the program (e.g. the date of our program terms); however, Sparrow may decide to modify, extend, or end the program at its discretion.
