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

Planning to launch a fund-raising effort for your Palm Beach County non-profit organization … but not sure where to begin? Perhaps the professional who directed the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just low on staff and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for charities operates. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be imposing, and ripe for mistakes. How do non-profit postage rates work? 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 substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap momentous savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them completely, and is prepared to assist.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are strict. 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 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 ride the non-profit status of another Palm Beach County organization. It won’t end well. 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 proof 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.

Is your Palm Beach County organization eligible? Most likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® prices are lengthy: 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.

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 moved.

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