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

Planning to initiate a fund-raising campaign for your Delridge non-profit organization … but unclear where to start? Maybe the person who oversaw the last outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just low on help and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that understands 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 Delridge direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap sizable savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them thoroughly, and is prepared 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 send at non-profit rates? Self-mailers, letters, newsletters and booklets weighing less than 16 ounces can be eligible 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 Delridge organization. It won’t work. 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 completely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Delridge organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete.
