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

Seeking to initiate a fund-raising campaign for your Saint Martins non-profit … but uncertain where to begin? Maybe the staffer who ran the earlier outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities operates. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the hard work fund-raising can be intimidating, 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 sent as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap momentous savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them intimately, and is ready to help.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent 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 be eligible 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 Saint Martins organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Get 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 completely. Doing so can make the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Saint Martins organization eligible? Probably, 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 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,” though. We don’t stop at readying your mail for the largest postage savings, and dropping 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 moved.

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

Contact us to initiate your next Saint Martins fund-raising effort. We’re a mail house, for sure – one focused on keeping your non-profit house strong, vibrant, and doing good work in the community.
