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

Hoping to undertake a donation campaign for your Robinswood non-profit organization … but unclear where to begin? Maybe the person who oversaw the last outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just short on help and long on work?

You want a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for charities operates. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the hard work fund-raising can be ambiguous, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates work? 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 sent as USPS Marketing Mail^®, by organizations authorized by the Postal Service™, at considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can reap momentous savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows 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 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 qualify 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 Robinswood organization. It won’t end well. 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 prepared to show proof 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 Robinswood organization eligible? Probably, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories of organizations eligible for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® prices are lengthy: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get down to business. 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 dropping 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 give to certain causes. Clean up your list, deleting 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.
