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

Aiming to fire up a fund-raising campaign for your Brown Deer charity … but uncertain where to begin? Maybe the staffer who directed the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just low on employees and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that knows how direct mail for charities operates. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Brown Deer direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates function? 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 sent as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

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

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® is eligible 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. Stated otherwise, don’t try to jump onto the non-profit status of another Brown Deer organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.
