We Get It

Small Team. Big Mission. Every Dollar Counts.

Most nonprofit staff are running development, communications, and half a dozen other jobs at once. Mail still has to go out — the annual appeal, the gala invitations, the thank-you letters — but there’s rarely time to manage three vendors to make it happen. Mailstar exists so that’s one job you can hand off completely.

Nonprofit Direct Mail — Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mailstar work with small nonprofits, or only large organizations?

Both. Mailstar works with organizations of every size, from a small local nonprofit mailing a few hundred appeal letters to larger organizations running multi-thousand-piece annual campaigns.

Yes. Variable data printing lets us personalize donor name, past giving, and suggested ask amount for every letter in a run, so lapsed donors, monthly givers, and major donors can each get a message suited to them.

Donor files are transferred securely, access is limited to the team working your job, and files aren’t retained beyond what your project needs.

Yes. Quotes and invoices are itemized by print, personalization, and postage so development staff have clear documentation for board reports and grant compliance.

Yes. Mailstar is based in Rochester, New York, and serves nonprofit clients nationwide — donor files transfer digitally and mail enters the same USPS network regardless of where your organization or donors are located.
