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

Prepared to fire up a fund-raising effort for your Greenacres charity … but uncertain where to begin? Maybe the team member who supervised the prior outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for charities functions. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be mysterious, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations qualify? 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 realize tremendous savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them inside and out, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® is eligible for non-profit rates. The rules are strict. 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 jump onto the non-profit status of another Greenacres organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Apply for your own.

How? Complete PS Form 3624, Application to Mail at Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® Prices. Be ready to show documentation 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 Greenacres organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations eligible for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® rates 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 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, deleting vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have relocated.
