Fund-Raising for South Milwaukee Non-Profits? Our Mail House Delivers Turnkey Mailing Service for Your Donation Campaigns!

Planning to start up a fund-raising campaign for your South Milwaukee charity … but not sure where to start? Maybe the staffer who supervised the prior outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just short on workers and long on tasks to be done?

You want a turnkey mailing service that comprehends how direct mail for charities works. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the charity fund-raising can be mysterious, 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 realize sizable 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^® 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 classify 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 ride the non-profit status of another South Milwaukee organization. It won’t fly. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Get your own.

How? Complete PS Form 3624, Application to Mail at Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® Prices. Be prepared to show documentation that your organization is a legal non-profit. Fill out the form completely. Doing so can make the difference in a decision returning in days, versus weeks.

Is your South Milwaukee organization eligible? Most likely, as long as your due diligence is complete. The categories of organizations eligible for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail^® costs are lengthy: philanthropic, religious, educational, veterans, scientific, labor, fraternal, political … the list goes on.
