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

Aiming to launch a fund-raising campaign for your Skykomish non-profit organization … but unclear where to start? Maybe the person who oversaw the earlier outreach retired or departed? Or, you’re just short on employees and long on work?

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

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates operate? Which types of operations qualify? 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 significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

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

Remember, nothing that requires sending 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 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 ride the non-profit status of another Skykomish organization. It won’t work. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain 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 entirely. Doing so can be the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.
