Fund-Raising for Maricopa County Non-Profit Organizations? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Planning to fire up a donation campaign for your Maricopa County non-profit … but uncertain where to begin? Has the person who supervised the last outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just low on employees and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits works. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be mysterious, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates function? 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 mailed as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can realize momentous savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them inside and out, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are well defined. 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. Put differently, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another Maricopa County organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred 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 Maricopa County organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications 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 down to business. 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 readying your mail for the largest postage savings, and delivering it at the post office.

We provide advice on designing your mail piece. Print your materials in full color. Populate and expand your mailing list, using recipients known to donate to specific causes. Polish up your list, removing vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have relocated.

Since its founding in 1946, Bresser’s Information Services has printed, addressed and mailed millions of donation campaign pieces. We understand the rules, the rates, and how to land your fund-raising outreach in the right hands.
