Make Your Fundraising Postage Work Harder
Get your mail in shape.
More than ever, postage rates reflect the the Postal Service’s widely varying costs for handling differently shaped mail pieces (letters, flats, parcels, etc.). The cost advantages of mailing a letter-size piece (one that is no larger than 6.125 inches tall, 11.5 inches long and 0.25 of an inch thick) are significant. The cost difference between mailing a nonprofit letter-sized piece and a nonprofit flat-sized piece can be nearly 20 cents each.
