Does my organization qualify to mail at nonprofit rates?
Pursuant to USPS regulations, there are eight types of organizations that are eligible for discounted nonprofit mailing rates. The eight types are organizations classified as:
(1) religious
(2) educational
(3) scientific
(4) charitable
(5) agricultural
(6) labor
(7) veterans
(8) fraternal
Additionally, certain voter registration officials and political committees may also qualify for the discount. Your organization must provide documentation of 501(c)(3) status, but this documentation alone will not guarantee you meet all USPS criteria.
