Nonprofit Standard Mail  
Authorized nonprofit organizations are eligible for additional savings.
Nonprofit organizations and businesses use Standard Mail® the same way. The only difference is that authorized nonprofit organizations are eligible for additional savings on Standard Mail. Eligibility to use nonprofit rates is based both on the eligibility of the organization and the content of the mailpiece as established by federal statues. Authorized Nonprofit organizations can use Standard Mail or Enhanced Carrier Route mail.

Eligible Organizations:
Simply being an IRS-approved nonprofit organization does not qualify an organization for these rates. Typically, there are 10 categories of organizations that may be eligible. Organizations eligible for nonprofit rates include:

Agricultural
Educational
Fraternal
Labor
Philanthropic
Religious
Scientific
Veterans
Voter Registration Officials
National and State Political Parties
