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

Looking to initiate a donation campaign for your Whitefish Bay non-profit … but unsure where to begin? Maybe the team member who directed the earlier outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on tasks to be done?

You need 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 logistical limbo) for your Whitefish Bay direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of operations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only specific 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 tremendous savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them completely, and is prepared to help.

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. Put differently, don’t try to utilize the non-profit status of another Whitefish Bay organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.
