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

Aiming to launch a fund-raising campaign for your Shorewood non-profit organization … but uncertain where to start? Has the staffer who supervised the earlier outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just low on workers and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities operates. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the charity fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of organizations are eligible? 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 glean serious savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them inside and out, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® qualifies 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 qualify for USPS Marketing Mail^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates. Stated otherwise, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another Shorewood organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are prohibited 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 evidence 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 Shorewood organization eligible? Most likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories of organizations eligible for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® prices are lengthy: 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.

There’s a reason our name includes “services,” though. We don’t stop at preparing your mail for the largest postage savings, and delivering it at the post office.
