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

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

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 jump onto the non-profit status of another North Hill organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege.
