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

Prepared to start up a donation effort for your South Milwaukee charity … but uncertain where to start? Has the staffer who directed the earlier outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just short on employees and long on tasks to be done?

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 South Milwaukee direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of organizations are eligible? 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

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

Remember, nothing that requires sending 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 qualify 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 jump onto the non-profit status of another South Milwaukee organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.
