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

Prepared to launch a fund-raising effort for your New YorkManhattan County non-profit organization … but unclear where to begin? Maybe the team member who ran the prior outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just low on workers and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for non-profits works. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the charity fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates operate? 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 considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

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

Remember, nothing that has to be sent 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. Put differently, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another New YorkManhattan County organization. It won’t fly. 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 ready to show proof 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 New YorkManhattan County organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete.
