Nonprofit Mail Guide 2025 – Fundraising Tips
As a nonprofit, nonprofit mail can be your saving grace in a time that donors are constantly receiving online ads and emails.

With an expert in-house team and decades of experience, we will tailor the perfect strategy for your organization. Our direct mail fundraising campaigns will deepen your supporter relationships on top of garnering more donations. Let’s see what else you should know before getting started with a direct mail marketing campaign for your nonprofit.
Direct Nonprofit Mail Fundraising – What is it?
Nonprofit direct marketing or nonprofit direct mail fundraising is physical mail marketing in someone’s mailbox on behalf of your organization. This mail piece will have an appeal for potential supporters to send donations. You can mail anything from a donation form on the back of a postcard, a story about your cause on the back of an appeals letter, and so much more. If you can dream it, we can mail it! We always recommend keeping your nonprofit’s mission at the core of your donation asks when creating a direct mail fundraising campaign or strategy. Make sure to also include multiple ways to reach you or your website to learn about the impact and the cause of your fundraising.
Pros for Fundraising with Direct Mail
A Presence that is Tangible
There is a massive impact that comes with having a prospective donor being able to physically touch and see your envelope and marketing pieces. You must hold and look at who sent you the piece of mail before you toss it out. That could be the difference – since you might entice them to open the mail first to read it.
Not as Much Competition
When it comes to marketing, it seems like we receive way more daily emails when compared to our physical mailboxes. Plus, a ton of those emails go straight to our junk or spam folder without even being seen. Personally, I only get around 1-3 physical mail pieces each day. But my inbox has over 25-35 emails each day. Cut through the digital noise with direct mail for your prospective donors.
