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

Hoping to undertake a fund-raising effort for your Oak Creek charity … but not sure where to start? Has the team member who directed the prior outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just short on employees and long on work?

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

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations 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 considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can realize sizable savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them thoroughly, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are clearly laid out. 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. Put differently, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another Oak Creek organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.
