For Fundraising Consultants

Your clients raise the money.
You get the credit.

Extensia gives fundraising consultants the infrastructure to run higher-performing galas — faster checkout, automatic pledge follow-up, and clean reconciliation — without adding technology complexity to your workflow.

Fundraising gala event
The problem today

What keeps fundraising consultants up at night

These aren’t edge cases. They show up at nearly every engagement — sourced from CCS Fundraising, the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, and the Giving Institute’s 2024 annual report.

1 in 3

You arrive at every engagement blind

Client donor data is incomplete, outdated, or locked in a CRM you can’t access. One in three nonprofits has an active data management failure. You inherit it on day one — and spend the first week reconstructing what should already exist.

Hours

Post-event reconciliation eats time you bill or absorb

After the gala, you’re stitching together payment processor exports, cash logs, pledge records, and offline giving sheets. It’s 6–20 hours of forensic accounting that either hits your client’s invoice or disappears from your margin.

24%

Anonymous donors — money with no relationship

Cash and tap-pay donations produce revenue with no constituent record. Only 24% of new donors return for a second gift — and the upstream cause is anonymous giving with no identity capture. You can’t build retention on donors who were never captured.

−4.5%

Shrinking donor pool, harder ROI to justify

Donor count fell 4.5% year over year. Dollars are up, but from fewer donors. Every event dollar must be accounted for with precision — and your client’s board questions are harder than they used to be. A manual report the day after no longer cuts it.

6–18 mo

You inherit the client’s technology lag

The average event-heavy nonprofit runs 4–6 separate tools that don’t share data natively. NTEN research puts nonprofits 6–18 months behind the technology curve. You arrive to run an event inside a fragmented stack you didn’t choose and can’t fix in the engagement window.

Per client

Kiosk setup from scratch caps your throughput

Each engagement requires configuring giving infrastructure from zero: causes, preset amounts, branding, peripheral setup. Without reusable configuration, every new client adds a proportional administrative burden — and a hard ceiling on how many you can run simultaneously.

What’s possible

Your next gala runs like this instead

Same room. Same donors. Same night — with infrastructure that removes the friction costing your client money and your engagement margin.

You deliver clean donor data at engagement close — not a reconstruction project

Every giving interaction automatically populates a structured constituent record. The consultant doesn’t arrive with the client’s data. They leave the engagement having produced it.

Checkout takes 5 seconds. The line disappears. Giving continues.

TapReady℠ processes a tap-to-pay donation in under 5 seconds with zero screen touch. Express Mode captures card first, contact details after — eliminating the bottleneck that costs you donors.

Every pledge made in the room gets followed up automatically

Automated reminders fire within 24 hours and continue on a configurable schedule. The revenue that was promised in the room gets collected — without a single follow-up call from you or your client.

Your client has a board-ready report the morning after

Gross vs. net amounts, per-channel giving, pledge counts, donor participation — available immediately, without a manual build. You walk out of the engagement with a deliverable, not a reconstruction.

You travel with your own hardware stack as a premium service tier

A consultant who invests in their own portable Extensia-configured kiosks can offer white-glove fundraiser setup as a new high-margin service line — a tier not previously available to most consultants.

How we work together

You focus on the relationship. We handle the infrastructure.

This is not a referral program and Extensia does not pay commissions. We bring the platform and optionally the event operations team. Your client gets better results. You get the credit for recommending the right solution — and a new premium service tier to offer.

Option 01

Your platform. Your clients.

You onboard Extensia once under your own consulting profile. From that account, configure and run galas for as many clients as you need — each with their own donor data, causes, and branding. You deliver a turnkey fundraiser service. You own the relationship.

Turnkey fundraiser service
Option 02

Platform + Extensia event team

Extensia deploys an event operations team for the night. We handle kiosk configuration, live monitoring, and post-event reconciliation. You stay focused on donor relationships and the high-value strategic work you were hired for.

Nominal per-event fee
The model

Aligned with your client’s success

Extensia’s fee is a small percentage of the revenue generated through the platform — plus an optional nominal fee for the event team when deployed. The more your client raises, the more the model makes sense for everyone involved.

Major NPO annual gala · ~1,000 guests

The organization leaving money in the room

Two events per year. 1,000 attendees per night, $500K annual event revenue. Checkout lines running 20+ minutes, paddle-raise pledges tracked on paper, and post-event reconciliation consuming a full week of staff time. No structured constituent records from in-person giving.

Hospital foundation gala · ~1,500 guests · $2M revenue

The foundation that needed to show the board something different

A single annual gala driving $2M in event revenue. High-value donor audience, major paddle-raise pledge volume, and a CFO who needs every dollar attributed, reconciled, and board-ready by 8 AM the next morning. The development director was held personally accountable for the accuracy of the post-event report.
