A benefit that funds the mission

This is a revenue-share partnership, not just a discount. NASW earns a share of every member purchase, and it flows back to the chapters and national programs that serve social workers.

Chapter earnings are tracked in real time and reported to NASW leadership monthly (see the partner rev-share view).

Proposed pilot concept for NASW review. Course counts and accreditation arrangements are illustrative pending NASW board, chapter, and legal approval. This catalog is additional inventory alongside the NASW CE Institute; nothing here replaces or migrates it. Courses run under approved-provider arrangements with ASWB ACE, NBCC, and state boards. Each provider hosts and delivers its own courses and is the approved provider of record named on the certificate; NASW handles the catalog, the member rate, the payment, and the transcript. NASW's iMIS stays the system of record.

Terms & policies

Who earns what

Two different arrangements. Content a chapter produced is NASW’s own revenue and carries no per-sale cut. Content from an outside provider pays NASW 5%.
On this revenueWhat NASW earnsWho it is credited toPaid how
CE produced by an NASW chapter, taken in stateThe full amount. No per-sale cut to the platform or anyone elseThe producing chapterKept at the point of sale; the platform is covered by the annual fee

Net revenue means gross less refunds and payment processing. The 5% rate and the annual platform fee are set in the agreement; the figures in this demo are illustrative. The 70/30 cross-state ratio is a placeholder for NASW to set.

What NASW keeps, and what it pays out

Monthly, net 15.

NASW's own gateway collects every dollar. A chapter's own CE stays with the chapter in full. On outside-provider sales, NASW keeps 5% and pays the provider the rest once a month against a line-level statement.

National keeps 60% of the 5% rev-share pool; chapters are credited the other 40%, attributed to the member's home chapter. A chapter's own CE revenue is not in this pool and is not split.
Chapter credits are an internal NASW allocation, not a second invoice, because NASW and its 54 chapters are one legal entity.

When money moves

1
A member buys through NASW. NASW's own payment gateway collects the full amount. The platform records which chapter the member belongs to and the rate in force that day.
2
Chapter CE stays put; outside sales settle monthly. A chapter's own course is its own revenue. On everything else NASW keeps 5% and pays the provider the rest, against one reconciliation file.
3
National credits each chapter its share. NASW and its 54 chapters are one legal entity, so this is an internal allocation, not a second invoice.
