Fund-Raising for Greenfield Charities? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Looking to undertake a fund-raising effort for your Greenfield non-profit organization … but unsure where to start? Perhaps the team member who supervised the previous outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on employees and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for charities works. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Greenfield direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations are eligible? 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 momentous savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them intimately, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending 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 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 Greenfield organization. It won’t end well. 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 documentation that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form entirely. Doing so can make the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.
