Fund-Raising for Skykomish Charities? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Seeking to launch a fund-raising campaign for your Skykomish non-profit organization … but unsure where to begin? Has the team member who oversaw the previous outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just low on employees and long on tasks to be done?

 

You want a turnkey mailing service that understands how direct mail for non-profits operates. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for errors. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of organizations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain 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 considerably reduced non-profit postage rates.

 

You can reap tremendous savings on postage … as long as you follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them completely, and is prepared to assist.

 

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 be eligible 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 Skykomish organization. It won’t fly. 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 prepared to show proof that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form entirely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

 

Is your Skykomish organization eligible? Probably, as long as your due diligence is complete. The classifications of organizations approved for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail® costs are many: 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,” though. We don’t stop at readying your mail for the largest postage savings, and delivering 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 mailers. We know the rules, the rates, and how to land your fund-raising outreach in the right hands.
