Direct Mail Marketing for Nonprofits
For nearly 60 years we’ve printed and mailed more than 80 million pieces of direct mail for fundraising campaigns, academic institutions, faith-based organizations, food distribution groups, and illness-related charities. In the process we’ve helped them secure millions of dollars in donations with direct mail marketing campaigns.

Direct mail is a key component of every strong multichannel nonprofit campaign, engaging your audience with vibrant, personalized brand experiences that drive results. Our partners consistently report that direct mail proves to be one of the most effective channels for their fundraising efforts and can result in a 40% increase in online donations.

Appeal to Your Donors with the Right Direct Mail Products
Direct mail for nonprofits comes in many shapes and sizes. Which format to use for your direct mail fundraising strategies depends on what you want to say, the type of donation, and the actions that need to be taken.
Envelope Mailers
The most popular nonprofit direct mail format is the envelope mailer because It allows for multiple letters, stories, donation slips, and return envelopes to be included in one clean, compact package. They also provide privacy for confidential messages, opportunities for personalization, and the ability to create a custom envelope so your letter stands out and gets opened.

Self Mailers
Self-mailers are popular with nonprofits because they offer multiple full color panels to tell your story but fold down into a compact letter-sized piece. Any message or materials sealed inside are kept secure until opened. With their simple format and eye-catching layout, self-mailers help your message command attention in the mailbox.
