Shipping for
Non-profits.
Mission-aligned shipping with USPS work-share rates for 501(c)(3) organizations.
Overview
Non-profits ship donor newsletters, fundraising mailings, program materials, advocacy postcards, and event collateral — usually on tight margins. L5's USPS work-share access gives non-profits the same commercial-plus rates large mailers get, without a minimum volume that locks small orgs out.
What gets in the way.
- —
Postage costs eating program budgets
