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

Ready to launch a donation campaign for your Granville non-profit … but not sure where to start? Perhaps the staffer who supervised the previous outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on help and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities works. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of organizations 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean momentous savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them thoroughly, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® is eligible 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. Put differently, don’t try to ride the non-profit status of another Granville 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 ready 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 Granville organization eligible? Most likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® rates are lengthy: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get your mailing moving. Bresser’s Information Services will mail on your organization’s behalf, using our mailing permit.

There’s a reason our name includes “services,” however. We don’t stop at preparing 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, deleting 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 mailers. We know the rules, the rates, and how to land your fund-raising outreach in the right hands.
