Prepared to initiate a fund-raising effort for your Fox Point non-profit organization … but unsure where to begin? Perhaps the professional who oversaw the earlier outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just short on help and long on tasks to be done?

You want a turnkey mailing service that knows how direct mail for charities works. Put differently, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the logistical limbo) for your Fox Point direct mail fund-raising.

Using direct mail for {non-profit fund-raising can be daunting, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates function? Which types of organizations qualify? Can any materials be mailed, or only specific 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 significantly reduced non-profit postage rates.

You can glean tremendous savings on postage … as long as you obey the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them thoroughly, and is ready to help.

Remember, nothing that has to be sent via First Class Mail^® qualifies for non-profit rates. The rules are well defined. Unbendable. Don’t even try.

So, what can you mail 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. Put differently, don’t try to utilize the non-profit status of another Fox Point organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are barred from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.
