*The Sprout Referral Program is a year-round program with payout based on the contracted school year signed. Schools that are new partners to Sprout School Supplies or returning partners (2 years inactive) are eligible referrals. For a referral to be eligible for reward earnings, a referral form must be submitted by the referring party before communication with a local school and/or PTO representative begins. Reward earnings are reported to referring parties at the close of the referral school's Sprout kit sale. Reward earnings are distributed to referring parties based on the signed school year contract. Reward earnings are distributed on during the month of September in the form of a live check in the name of the referring individual, parent group or school. Teachers, parent groups and school admin are encouraged to participate to earn money for their schools and/or classrooms. Participants earn $1 per kit sold with a maximum earning of $500 per referral.
