Looking to undertake a donation effort for your Oak Creek non-profit … but unclear where to start? Perhaps the professional who ran the earlier outreach retired or exited? Or, you’re just low on workers and long on work?

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

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

You can reap momentous savings on postage … as long as you stick to the rules. Bresser’s Information Services knows them thoroughly, and is prepared to assist.

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 classify for USPS Marketing Mail^®.

Only materials of authorized organizations, registered as non-profits with USPS, can be mailed at non-profit rates.
