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

Planning to initiate a fund-raising campaign for your La Puente non-profit organization … but uncertain where to start? Has the team member who directed the last outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities functions. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your La Puente direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates function? 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap tremendous savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them inside and out, and is ready to assist.

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 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 ride the non-profit status of another La Puente organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.

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

Is your La Puente organization eligible? Most likely, as long as your due diligence is complete.
