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

Looking to launch a fund-raising effort for your Vernon non-profit … but not sure where to start? Has the person who ran the last outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just short on staff and long on tasks to be done?

You want 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 charity fund-raising can be uncertain, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates operate? 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 mailed as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean momentous savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them thoroughly, and is ready to assist.

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 mail 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. Put differently, don’t try to jump onto the non-profit status of another Vernon organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are prohibited 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 entirely. Doing so can make the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Vernon organization eligible? Probably, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® prices are many: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get down to business. 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 give to specific causes. Clean up your list, removing vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have relocated.

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