Special Prices for Nonprofit Mailers
You may be aware that special nonprofit prices are available for some Periodicals and USPS Marketing Mail mailers, but you may not know who is eligible for those privileges. Nonprofit postage is lower than regular prices, but not everyone can qualify. The following information will help you determine if your business or organization is eligible for nonprofit postage privileges.
Organizations wishing to mail at nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail prices first must be authorized by the Postal Service as eligible. Then, they must make sure that the material being mailed complies with strict requirements for nonprofit prices.
TIPS
- Nonprofit postage prices are available only for domestic mail, not for international mail.
- Please review Publication 417, Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail Eligibility, or get advice from your Business Mail Entry Unit personnel while you are designing your nonprofit material, especially if your mailpiece contains any advertising.
- A nonprofit status from the IRS does not automatically qualify you to mail at nonprofit prices. Publication 417 and your Business Mail Entry Unit office can assist in the determination.
