about us.
At OnPointe Consulting, we specialize in one thing: fundraising events that deliver results.
With over 24 years of experience exclusively in fundraising event strategy, we partner with nonprofit organizations to maximize their event proceeds through thoughtful planning, auction optimization, and expert mobile bidding implementation. Our true value lies in our deep knowledge of fundraising strategies and our ability to guide organizations through a process that prioritizes donor engagement and financial outcomes.
We are not event planners—we are event strategists. As fundraising professionals, we collaborate with numerous nonprofits each year, which keeps us at the forefront of best practices in the industry. We share proven strategies that help organizations see their event through a fundraising lense, often revealing opportunities to increase revenue or improve the donor experience.
Our specialty lies in auction consulting—helping clients craft the right mix of auction items and implementing smart, strategic marketing and displays to generate the highest return. We also manage the setup and execution of mobile bidding platforms, ensuring that technology works for you—not against you.
From initial planning to post-event wrap-up, we’re with you every step of the way. Our experienced event staff are experts in the most widely used bidding platforms and ensure a smooth, professional guest experience—from check-in to check-out. This allows your team—Executive Directors, board members, and volunteers—to stay focused on what matters most: building relationships and advancing your mission.
With OnPointe Consulting, your event isn’t just well-run—it’s powerfully effective. Our partnership begins with a complimentary discovery meeting, during which we learn about your organization's mission, past event experiences, and goals. Using this information, we analyze and develop a customized event strategy and management plan tailored specifically to your organization. This focused strategy aims to maximize proceeds and provide an unparalleled event experience, leaving lasting impressions that encourage future giving opportunities.
Fundraising Doesn't Happen by Chance.
It Happens by Design.
Every successful fundraising event begins long before the first guest arrives.
It begins with intentional strategy, thoughtful leadership, and a clear understanding of the mission it is meant to advance.
At OnPointe Consulting, we guide nonprofit organizations through The OnPointe Standard™—our proven philosophy and methodology for designing fundraising experiences that strengthen donor relationships, inspire generosity, and maximize mission impact.
Because exceptional fundraising isn't accidental.
It's intentional.
Strategic. Intentional. OnPointe.
Introducing The OnPointe Standard™
Every organization is unique.
Every mission deserves its own story.
Every fundraising event should reflect both.
The OnPointe Standard™ is the philosophy, methodology, and operational framework that guides every engagement we lead. Rather than beginning with logistics, we begin with understanding—your mission, your goals, your supporters, and the experience you want every guest to have.
From that foundation, every recommendation becomes intentional.
Every process supports a purpose.
Every interaction strengthens a relationship.
How We Guide Every Engagement
Build the Infrastructure
We establish the strategic and operational foundation that allows your event to succeed—from planning and technology to timelines, systems, and communication.
Build Momentum
Sponsors. Auction strategy. Guest communications. Marketing.
Every interaction before event day is designed to build anticipation and strengthen engagement.
Deliver the Experience
On event day, preparation becomes performance.
From guest arrival through final reconciliation, we lead every detail so your team can focus on what matters most—your mission and your relationships.
We Don't Just Manage Events.
We strengthen missions.
We simplify complexity.
We build confidence.
We cultivate generosity.
We create experiences that people remember long after the evening ends.
Because fundraising is never just about one event.
It's about building lasting relationships with the people who believe in your mission.
Organizations don't partner with us because we decorate ballrooms or operate software.
They partner with us because they want thoughtful strategy, disciplined execution, and a trusted advisor who understands how every decision influences the guest experience and fundraising success.
Our role is to help organizations see possibilities they may not have considered—and then guide them through bringing those possibilities to life.

Danielle Brousseau founded OnPointe Consulting out of a genuine passion for fundraising and a track record of exceptional results.
Her journey began over two decades ago as a volunteer at her daughter’s school auction. What started as a simple way to get involved quickly evolved into a deep commitment. Over the course of 18 years as Chairperson, Danielle leveraged her background in financial analysis and marketing to transform the school’s annual fundraiser—raising over $3.5 million in total. In her first year of leadership alone, the event saw a 100% increase in profits, and the momentum continued year after year.
As word of her success spread, local nonprofits began reaching out for her guidance. The demand for her expertise grew, and in 2013, OnPointe Consulting was officially born.
Since then, Danielle has built a respected reputation in the nonprofit community as a trusted partner, known for bringing strategy, creativity, and focus to every event.
The OnPointe Events Team is experienced in every aspect of specialized fundraising events from set-up to check-out. Proficient in several of the industry's leading bidding platforms and event software, the Event Team will confidently and professionally greet each of your guests and assist them throughout the event experience. This allows you the opportunity to interact with your guests, cultivate relationships for your organization, and to maintain a mission focus throughout your event and beyond.
