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

Looking to fire up a donation campaign for your El Segundo charity … but not sure where to begin? Perhaps the team member who oversaw the previous outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just low on staff and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities functions. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the charity fund-raising can be imposing, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of organizations are eligible? 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 glean sizable savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them completely, and is prepared to assist.

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 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 utilize the non-profit status of another El Segundo organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain 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 entirely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your El Segundo organization eligible? Probably, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations eligible for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® costs are many: 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 readying your mail for the largest postage savings, and delivering it at the post office.
