Fund-Raising for Carrollville Non-Profit Organizations? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Planning to fire up a donation effort for your Carrollville charity … but unsure where to start? Perhaps the professional who supervised the last outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on employees and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits functions. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of operations qualify? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap serious savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them inside and out, and is prepared to help.

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

So, what can you mail 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 piggyback on the non-profit status of another Carrollville organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.

How? Complete PS Form 3624, Application to Mail at Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® Prices. Be prepared to show evidence 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.

Is your Carrollville organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® rates are many: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

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

There’s a reason our name includes “services,” though. 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. Polish up your list, removing vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have relocated.

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