Seeking to fire up a fund-raising effort for your Carrollville non-profit … but unclear where to start? Maybe the team member who oversaw the prior outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on help and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for charities functions. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Carrollville direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be mysterious, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations qualify? 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 considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap serious savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them completely, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® qualifies 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 qualify 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 ride the non-profit status of another Carrollville organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.
