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

Looking to launch a fund-raising effort for your Wauwatosa non-profit … but unsure where to begin? Perhaps the professional who supervised the earlier outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just low on staff and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities operates. Put differently, 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 errors. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations qualify? 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 significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can realize sizable savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them thoroughly, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are well defined. 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. Stated otherwise, don’t try to utilize the non-profit status of another Wauwatosa 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 documentation 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.
