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

Prepared to start up a fund-raising campaign for your Fall City non-profit … but not sure where to begin? Has the person who ran the prior outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just low on staff and long on work?

You need a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for non-profits operates. In other words, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Fall City direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates function? 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 mailed as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at substantially reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean sizable savings on postage … as long as you adhere to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them intimately, and is ready to help.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® is eligible 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 qualify 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 ride the non-profit status of another Fall City organization. It won’t work. 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 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.
