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

Prepared to start up a fund-raising effort for your Indian Creek charity … but unclear where to begin? Perhaps the professional who directed the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just low on staff and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that knows how direct mail for non-profits functions. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the hard work fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates work? 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 sent as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean sizable savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them intimately, and is ready 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 be eligible 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 ride the non-profit status of another Indian Creek organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.

How? Complete PS Form 3624, Application to Mail at Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® Prices. Be prepared to show evidence that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form completely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Indian Creek organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® costs are lengthy: 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,” however. We don’t stop at preparing your mail for the greatest 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 support specific causes. Clean up your list, deleting vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have moved.

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