Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain types?

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

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 classify for USPS Marketing Mail^®.
