Faircom New York Merges Into Avalon Consulting Group to Form Unified Nonprofit Agency

The consolidation stacks roughly 60 years of combined sector tenure — more than 30 years at Faircom New York and nearly three decades at Avalon — and channels VeraData's Donor Science™ data infrastructure through one service entity. For New York-area nonprofit procurement officers, development leads, and board finance committees evaluating outsourced fundraising vendors, the move redraws the vendor map for direct-response strategy, multichannel campaigns, and predictive modeling services.

Combined capability stack

The unified agency will operate under the Avalon Consulting Group name while absorbing Faircom New York's client roster, existing contracts, and day-to-day points of contact. Service-line coverage spans donor acquisition, donor retention, mid-level strategy, creative development, direct mail, digital fundraising, and data-informed optimization. Operational infrastructure, per the announcement, includes one-to-one marketing at scale, predictive modeling, analytics and reporting intelligence, audience segmentation, omnichannel strategy, media planning, creative testing, and human-assisted AI — all under VeraData's data-science umbrella.

Founding leadership remains intact: Corinne Servily continues as founder of the Faircom New York lineage; Allison Porter continues as founder and president of Avalon Consulting Group; Michael Kulpinsky serves as chief operating officer of VeraData Holdings. Both firms have historically operated as nonprofit-exclusive practices.

Procurement and compliance checkpoints for NYC nonprofits

• Verify contract assignment and governing-law clauses: existing Faircom NY agreements transfer to Avalon Consulting Group; document any change-of-control terms, indemnification provisions, and termination rights.
• Audit data-governance terms: Donor Science™ infrastructure handles modeling, segmentation, and predictive analytics; review data-residency, vendor-risk, and information-security obligations against your organization's compliance protocols.
• Confirm service-line scope: determine whether mid-level strategy, creative testing, and predictive modeling are already included under current engagement terms or require scope expansion and corresponding fee adjustment.
• Request unified rate card: benchmark blended hourly costs, project-based fees, and media-planning markups against prior Faircom and Avalon pricing to identify overhead-ratio shifts.
• Document continuity of account management: existing primary contacts remain in place per the announcement; record current account-lead names and escalation paths for due-diligence files.
• Track SLA and reporting cadence: confirm reporting deliverables, model-refresh frequency, and campaign-attribution methodology remain unchanged post-integration.
