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

Planning to launch a fund-raising effort for your Dallas County non-profit … but unsure where to begin? Has the team member who supervised the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on staff and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for non-profits works. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Dallas County direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of operations qualify? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain 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 reap sizable savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them inside and out, and is ready to help.

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 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 Dallas County organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.
