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

Hoping to start up a donation campaign for your Brown Deer non-profit … but unsure where to begin? Has the person who supervised the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for charities functions. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Brown Deer direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations 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 momentous savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them inside and out, and is ready to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent 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 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 piggyback on the non-profit status of another Brown Deer organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.
