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

Ready to fire up a fund-raising campaign for your Gribble non-profit organization … but unclear where to start? Perhaps the person who directed the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on help and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that knows how direct mail for non-profits works. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Gribble direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of operations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only specific 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can realize sizable 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 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 classify 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 jump onto the non-profit status of another Gribble organization. It won’t work. 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 prepared to show proof that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form entirely. Doing so can make the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

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