Fund-Raising for Palm Beach County Non-Profits? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Aiming to fire up a donation campaign for your Palm Beach County charity … but not sure where to start? Perhaps the professional who ran the last outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just low on employees and long on tasks to be done?

You want a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities functions. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the hard work fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of organizations qualify? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain types?

First, a definition. Non-profit mail is printed material eligible to be mailed as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean serious savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them inside and out, and is ready to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are strict. Unbendable. Don’t even try.

So, what can you send at non-profit rates? Self-mailers, letters, newsletters and booklets weighing less than 16 ounces can be eligible for USPS Marketing Mail^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates. Put differently, don’t try to ride the non-profit status of another Palm Beach County organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.

How? Complete PS Form 3624, Application to Mail at Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® Prices. Be prepared to show proof that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form completely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Palm Beach County organization eligible? Most likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations eligible for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® costs are lengthy: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get down to business. Bresser’s Information Services will mail on your organization’s behalf, using our mailing permit.

There’s a reason our name includes “services,” however. We don’t stop at preparing your mail for the largest postage savings, and dropping it at the post office.

We provide advice on designing your mail piece. Print your materials in full color. Populate and expand your mailing list, using recipients known to support specific causes. Clean up your list, deleting vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have moved.

Since its founding in 1946, Bresser’s Information Services has printed, addressed and mailed millions of fund-raising mailers. We know the regulations, the rates, and how to get your fund-raising outreach in the right hands.
