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

Seeking to initiate a donation effort for your Brown Deer non-profit organization … but unsure where to start? Perhaps the professional who directed the last outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just short on staff and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that knows how direct mail for non-profits works. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the charity fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of operations 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 significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can realize tremendous savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them intimately, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending 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 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 ride the non-profit status of another Brown Deer organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Get 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 be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Brown Deer organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® prices are many: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get your mailing moving. Bresser’s Information Services will mail on your organization’s behalf, using our mailing permit.
