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

Ready to undertake a fund-raising effort for your Dallas County charity … but unclear where to begin? Perhaps the professional who supervised the prior outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just low on help and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits works. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Dallas County direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of operations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only specific 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 realize tremendous savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them inside and out, and is ready to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are well defined. 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 qualify for USPS Marketing Mail^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates. Stated otherwise, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another Dallas County organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.

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