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

Looking to launch a donation effort for your Dallas County non-profit organization … but unclear where to begin? Perhaps the staffer who ran the previous outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on staff and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities operates. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the hard work fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations 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 significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap tremendous savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them completely, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are strict. 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^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates. Put differently, don’t try to ride the non-profit status of another Dallas County organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.

How? Complete PS Form 3624, Application to Mail at Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® Prices. Be ready to show proof that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form completely. Doing so can make the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Dallas County organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® costs are lengthy: 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,” however. We don’t stop at preparing your mail for the greatest 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 donate to specific causes. Polish up your list, removing vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have moved.

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