Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be intimidating, and ripe for slip-ups. How do non-profit postage rates work? Which types of organizations are eligible? Can any materials be mailed, or only certain types?

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 jump onto the non-profit status of another Whitefish Bay organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege.
