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

Looking to start up a fund-raising effort for your Kleberg charity … but not sure where to begin? Perhaps the team member who ran the earlier outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just low on employees and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for charities operates. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the hard work fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain 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 considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap tremendous savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them inside and out, 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 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 piggyback on the non-profit status of another Kleberg 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 ready to show evidence 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 Kleberg organization eligible? Very likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® rates are many: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get to work. 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 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 donate to specific causes. Polish 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 fund-raising materials. We know the rules, the rates, and how to land your fund-raising outreach in the right hands.
