Fund-Raising for Pleasant Valley Non-Profit Organizations? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Ready to launch a fund-raising effort for your Pleasant Valley non-profit organization … but uncertain where to begin? Maybe the team member who oversaw the prior outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on work?

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

You can realize sizable savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them thoroughly, and is prepared to help.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent 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 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 utilize the non-profit status of another Pleasant Valley organization. It won’t work. 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 completely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your Pleasant Valley organization eligible? Probably, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories 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 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 preparing your mail for the greatest postage savings, and delivering it at the post office.
