Aiming to start up a donation effort for your Covington non-profit organization … but unsure where to start? Maybe the person who ran the previous outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just low on workers and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that knows how direct mail for charities works. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Covington direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain types?

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

Remember, nothing that requires sending via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are clearly laid out. 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. Put differently, don’t try to piggyback on the non-profit status of another Covington organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.
