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

Aiming to fire up a fund-raising effort for your Wauwatosa non-profit organization … but unclear where to begin? Has the professional who supervised the previous outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just short on staff and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits works. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Wauwatosa direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of operations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain 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 considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap tremendous savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them completely, 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 strict. Unbendable. Don’t even try.

So, what can you mail 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 Wauwatosa organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.
