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

You can realize serious savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them thoroughly, and is ready to help.
