Nonprofit Direct Mail & Fundraising Services
Experienced. Personal. Trusted.
Direct Mail Expertise for Nonprofit Organizations
Direct Mail of New York has worked with nonprofit organizations for decades, providing direct mail, printing, data, and mailing services for fundraising appeals, donor acquisition campaigns, newsletters, and other donor communications.
Our role goes beyond simply producing a job. We take the time to understand your project, review the details, and recommend practical solutions based on our experience in printing, direct mail, data, and postal preparation.
From donor data and mailing lists through printing, personalization, production, and delivery to the USPS, DMNY can coordinate one part of your project or manage the entire production and mailing process—with responsive, personal service every step of the way.
More Than a Vendor — An Experienced Partner
At DMNY, value is about more than the price of printing or mailing. It's about having an experienced partner who looks at the entire project and helps you make informed decisions about how your organization's resources are used.
We review the details that can affect both quality and total project cost—including format, paper, production method, quantity, data preparation, personalization, and postal requirements. When we see an opportunity to make a project more efficient or reduce an unnecessary expense, we'll point it out. And when a less expensive option could compromise the quality or requirements of the finished piece, we'll explain that too.
Our pricing is competitive, but the value we provide extends well beyond a price quote. You're working with experienced professionals who understand the interaction between design, printing, data, production, and postage—and who take the time to answer questions and recommend the right approach for your project.
Experienced Guidance
Decades of printing and direct mail experience applied to the details of your project.
Smart Production & Postal Planning
We consider production and postage together to identify practical efficiencies and help you understand the total economics of your mailing.
Personal Service
Work with people who know your project, answer your questions, and take the time to recommend solutions—not simply process an order.
Relationships Built Over Decades
Some of our nonprofit client relationships span nearly 30 years. We value long-term partnerships built through responsive service, consistent quality, practical guidance, and an understanding of each organization's needs.

NONPROFIT POSTAGE & POSTAL PLANNING
Experience That Can Help Control Mailing Costs
Postage can represent a significant portion of the total cost of a nonprofit mailing. That's why DMNY considers postal requirements and potential postage efficiencies before production—not after the piece has already been designed and printed.
Eligible nonprofit organizations may qualify for Nonprofit USPS Marketing Mail rates. But postage can also be affected by mailpiece size, shape, weight, quantity, list quality, and postal preparation. Our experience allows us to consider these factors as part of the overall project and identify practical options when opportunities for savings exist.
Data & List Services for Nonprofits
Reach the Right Donors and Prospects
Effective nonprofit direct mail starts with accurate data and appropriate audience selection. DMNY can work with your existing donor database or help source targeted prospect lists for donor acquisition and other nonprofit outreach.
We also provide the data processing needed to prepare donor and prospect files for efficient production, personalization, and mailing.

Make Your Donor Data Work Harder
Donor data can do more than provide an address. When appropriate data is available, variable-data printing can be used to personalize names, messages, ask amounts, and other campaign elements for individual recipients or donor segments.
DMNY coordinates the data preparation, personalization, printing, and production required to turn your supplied campaign data into accurate, personalized communications.
