FAQ
What are PIPs?
PIPs stands for Positive Impact Points. Your learners earn PIPs in the community we create for you on the PIPs Rewards app, for taking actions you want them to take. PIPs are like a virtual currency, in that learners can redeem their PIPs for rewards, which are loaded on your app community. Learners can track their PIPs on the app and we monitor their activity. Unlike real virtual currency, there is no value of PIP’s outside of our app, and learners’ PIPs do expire.
How can an incentives program benefit my organization?
Your learners are already motivated – whether they’re pursuing a degree or a professional goal. But sometimes daily actions like completing paperwork, meeting with an advisor or volunteering requires extra encouragement. We’ve observed that, as learners gain skills and experience, they increasingly value these activities–which builds momentum for them doing more actions, more often. PIPs app users report greater confidence and connection to their community, resulting in better outcomes overall. Learn more about the science behind incentives programs.
What kind of organizations does PIPs Rewards work with?
PIPs Rewards improves outcomes for colleges, universities, community centers, workforce development agencies, apprenticeship programs and other organizations that help people achieve their educational and career goals and improve their economic mobility and well-being.
How much work will be required of me?
We know time and funding is scarce. That’s why we’ve designed PIPs Rewards to require as little work from you as possible, with no IT set-up required. We help design, support, and manage your PIPs Rewards community. If you have questions along the way, our support team is always here for you [email protected].
How much will the program cost?
The costs of having a PIPs Rewards community are a set-up fee, annual fees based on the number of people in your app community, and the costs of the rewards that your learners earn. We also provide a community of practice for our clients, so you can connect and learn from your peers. If your organization does not have the funds to have a PIPs Rewards community, we will discuss how we can still work with you. We are a nonprofit organization with a commitment to equity and access.
How does the PIPs Rewards app work?
We’ve designed the PIPs Rewards app for ease, enjoyment, and accessibility—and most of the content can be multilingual.
