Nonprofit postage rates can help you achieve great savings on your appeal campaign. On average, your organization can achieve discounts of up to 70 percent when mailing at a nonprofit rate. Are you investing in a multithousand-piece fundraising appeal campaign? Those postage savings add up.
Know the Difference: While first-class postage for a letter mailing might run about 42 cents per piece, nonprofit postage for a similar letter might only be in the ballpark of 17 cents per piece.
Who’s Eligible?: Organizations typically eligible for nonprofit postage rates include those that are educational, philanthropic and religious.
Qualify for Nonprofit Postage: Just having a 501(c)3 certificate from the IRS isn’t enough. Nonprofit postage authorization still needs to be obtained from the U.S. Postal Service, and we can help you navigate the process.
Work with an Expert: A mailing expert who works closely with the Postal Service can help you navigate the application and certification process, ensuring it’s streamlined and doesn’t hold up your mailing or add additional costs. For example, if an organization is in the midst of having its nonprofit postage certification approved, we can process their mailing using our postal permit, which means the organization does not incur additional expenses while waiting for certification.
Additionally, an experienced mailing provider can process your mailing list and ensure your mailing achieves the lowest possible postage rates, so you save as much as possible.
