Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Profit Direct Mail Services

For the most common letter sized direct mailing, the nonprofit postage rate is about $.178 each compared to the ordinary direct mail marketing mail at about $.299 each. Although it is a small difference, these significant postage savings add up with larger quantity mailings.

No, the discounted non-profit mailing rate is only available for marketing direct mail only! Marketing mailing is also known as “bulk” mail or standard mail.
How can a nonprofit use a donor mailing list?
A nonprofit organization can use a donor mailing list to get access to highly-responsive donors who will have interest in their nonprofit. Specify geographical locations and genera demographics along with choosing households who have financially contributed to causes such as animal welfare, children, environment, political, etc.
What are direct mail services for nonprofits?
Direct mail services for nonprofits are marketing campaigns to send communication to current donors, past donors, or prospective donors. Send out postcards, letters, & brochures to draw supporters to your organization. Direct mail is widely used for nonprofit organizations because it is targeted and personalized.
Can I send packages via non-profit mailing?
Yes. If your nonprofit direct mail package is 16 oz (1 lb) or less, you can mail packages via non-profit postage rate. There are some restrictions, so please contact us for details.
How long does it take for nonprofit mailer to arrive at the final destination?
Nonprofit direct mail marketing will arrive at its final destination in about 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the region. We can get you a more accurate time of delivery if you provide more details about your nonprofit direct marketing campaign.
Do I need a permit to mail nonprofit mailing?
Yes, a nonprofit permit is necessary for you to mail at the discounted nonprofit postage rate; however, you can simply send your mail using the Addressers’ nonprofit permit. A nonprofit permit has an annual fee, and there is no reason for you to pay for it every year. Your postage rate will be exactly the same when you use our permit.
What is the difference between a nonprofit authorization number vs a nonprofit permit?
A nonprofit authorization number is given to you once the USPS grants you qualification for the discounted non-postage rates. A nonprofit permit is required to send out nonprofit mailers to the post-office, but you can use the Addressers’ permit for no extra charge. Avoiding the permit application will save you both time and money!
What is the difference between a house file vs prospecting direct mail campaign?
A housefile or house file nonprofit mailing campaign is when a nonprofit targets established supporters for the nonprofit. In other words, you send out nonprofit mailers to current donors, volunteers, and any individuals who have expressed interest. A prospective or prospecting nonprofit direct marketing campaign is when a nonprofit attempts to form relationships and develop interests with households and individuals who are most likely to support that particular nonprofit, through donor mailing lists and consumer mailing lists.
Should I add my logo to the return address on the nonprofit envelope?
We recommend adding a logo to the return address for notification mailings, offers to current/old clients, or to recipients who are familiar with your company logo. We don’t recommend adding a return address logo for marketing letter mailing. Recipients may be turned off by seeing a business logo they don’t recognize. Without the logo, recipients have a higher chance of opening your letter marketing campaign based off of curiosity.
What are the most popular mailers for nonprofits?
There is a large variety of nonprofit organization direct mailers including nonprofit letter and envelopes, nonprofit brochures, nonprofit postcards, nonprofit invitations for special events and tournaments, nonprofit newsletters, nonprofit business reply mailing, nonprofit donation mailers, nonprofit check mailing and more.

Nonprofit Mailing Customer Reviews
Lung Cancer Foundation of America, Cindy Iker
Lung Cancer Foundation of America has been a customer of The Addressers Mailing Service since 2014. They do very high quality work and really get the job done for us! Especially since we ALWAYS slide in at the very last moment and ask them to get our job out ASAP! They've always come through!!
Spondylitis Association of America, Diann Peterson
My nonprofit organization sends 4 or 5 mass mailings per year and recently worked with Addressers for the first time. Our mailings aren’t terribly complicated but they do require a 3-point match (outer envelope, reply card, letter) and several pieces of personalization in addition to those. Lucy at Addressers got the concept from the get-go. Their quote was far below what I had been paying in the past and the turnaround was lightning fast. I was thoroughly satisfied with all aspects of the experience and am just about to use them again for my next mailing. Five stars all the way.
The Climate Action Reserve, Sana Badalain
Working with Sameh, was such a great experience! He was fast, professional, and very helpful! The postcard was mailed out fast! This is the second year we use the Addressers service and will consider working with them next year as well for mailing out The Climate Action Reserve Annual conference postcards.
Immaculate Heart Community, Laura Seitz
Professional, responsive, hard-working and very accommodating. I highly recommend!
California Naturopathic Doctors Association, Kathy Konst
This is the third time I have used The Addressers and worked with Kent and Angelica. They make it soooo easy and professional. The work is great and the prices are in line or better than the comps. Thanks again for the excellent service!
Amanda Jones
I have been using Addressers for several years in my current fundraising position and at past non-profits, as well. The turn-around time for projects, both large and small, has been very quick, which has been very helpful with last minute orders. They have a lot of experience working with different materials, file types etc...whether you supply your own materials or use something in stock. I think the biggest benefit to using Addressers as opposed to an online service is the quality control and attention to detail - I don't think I seen any errors over the time I have partnered with them.
Matthew Lazalde
The Addressers is a great company and their customer service is one of a kind. They never fail to remain one step ahead of my needs. Today marks a year I have been using their services and I look forward to working with them for years to come! I would recommend them to anyone!
Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions, Heather Hohlowksi
This is a truly awesome mailing provider. They gave us a fast and competitive quote when we initially began our search for a mailhouse and have been responsive and helpful throughout our project. Kent and Donna were particularly helpful, as well as patient as we learned about the ins and outs of a bulk mailing for our nonprofit organization. I highly recommend Addressers for companies' mailing needs and we will be return customers for sure!
