Fund-Raising for Palm Beach County Non-Profits? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Prepared to fire up a fund-raising effort for your Palm Beach County charity … but not sure where to start? Maybe the staffer who oversaw the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on help and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits works. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Palm Beach County direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of operations qualify? 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 significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap momentous savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them completely, and is ready to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are well defined. 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. Put differently, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another Palm Beach County organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.
