New Mexico has a 1.7-5.9% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 5.9%. Gross receipts tax (similar to sales tax) applies to services. Low cost of living. Small market. Santa Fe tourism creates seasonal demand.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,356/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most fundraiser planners in Albuquerque piece together HoneyBook, Acuity Scheduling, FreshBooks, Square plus other subscriptions. That's $1,356/year on recurring software. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $6,780.
With Nexa, you own your tools. Your CRM, billing, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one system. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. No add-on costs. It's a no subscription — keep more revenue immediately. For fundraiser planners in Albuquerque weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
A fundraiser planner is judged by one merciless number: net proceeds, what's actually left for the cause after the room, the food, and the band are paid for. So the day is part event logistics and part development work. You're soliciting auction items, calling the restaurant that promised a gift card and the spa that said yes weeks ago but hasn't sent the certificate, and logging each donation with its fair-market value because that matters for the receipts later. You watch table sales against the goal, because selling a table of ten is worth more than chasing single tickets, and you nudge board members to fill their tables. Sponsors each bought a tier, the presenting sponsor gets the podium mention and the logo on the screen, the table sponsors get their names in the program, and you're making sure no donor who wrote a check gets forgotten, because a snubbed sponsor doesn't come back next year. Midday you're reconciling the budget so you know the real net, finalizing the run-of-show for the live auction and the paddle-raise, and prepping the mobile bidding. After the event the work isn't over: every donor and sponsor needs a prompt, accurate tax acknowledgment, and the board wants a clean report of what the night actually raised.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a fundraiser planner's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a fundraiser planner — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
