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

Seeking to launch a donation effort for your Whitefish Bay non-profit organization … but unclear where to begin? Maybe the team member who directed the earlier outreach retired or left? Or, you’re just low on workers and long on tasks to be done?

You need a turnkey mailing service that grasps how direct mail for non-profits functions. Simply put, you need Bresser’s Information Services, a mail service provider (MSP) that does the heavy lifting fund-raising can be imposing, and ripe for pitfalls. How do non-profit postage rates work? 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 mailed 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 follow the rules. Bresser’s Information Services understands them intimately, and is prepared 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 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 utilize the non-profit status of another Whitefish Bay organization. It won’t end well. Authorized organizations are prohibited from sharing their mailing privilege. Obtain your own.

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

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

Got your non-profit authorization? Great. Let’s get to work. Bresser’s Information Services will mail on your organization’s behalf, using our mailing permit.

There’s a reason our name includes “services,” though. We don’t stop at readying your mail for the largest postage savings, and dropping it at the post office.

We provide advice on designing your mail piece. Print your materials in full color. Populate and expand your mailing list, using recipients known to support certain causes. Polish up your list, removing vacant and duplicate addresses. Find new addresses for recipients who have relocated.

Since its founding in 1946, Bresser’s Information Services has printed, addressed and mailed millions of fund-raising pieces. We know the rules, the rates, and how to get your fund-raising outreach in the right hands.
