EDDM for Nonprofits & Churches — Every Door Direct Mail
Every Door Direct Mail is the lowest-cost way for nonprofits and churches to reach every household in their community. EDDM postcard campaigns saturate the neighborhoods around your facility at the USPS lowest postage rate — no donor list, member list, or contact database required. Use EDDM for event invitations, fundraising appeals, and outreach campaigns at a price that fits even modest budgets.
Why EDDM Works for Nonprofit & Church EDDM
Neighborhood Saturation Mailing
EDDM reaches every household on the carrier routes you select. For a church or nonprofit, that means an invitation in the hands of every neighbor — without the cost or work of building a contact list.
Local Route Targeting Around Your Facility
Use the USPS route map to focus on carrier routes within 1–3 miles of your church or office. Concentrate mailing on the homes closest to where your services and events happen.
Affordable Local Marketing
EDDM postage is the lowest USPS saturation rate available. Combined with EDDM postcard printing, even small organizations can reach thousands of nearby households for a few hundred dollars.
EDDM Postcard Design for Outreach
Choose EDDM-eligible postcard sizes in 14PT or 16PT cardstock with gloss or matte finishes. Show a warm photo, a clear invitation, and a QR code to event registration or online giving on a single high-impact piece.
Campaign Ideas for Nonprofit & Church EDDM
Christmas & Easter Outreach
Saturate every household within 2 miles of your facility with a service invitation two weeks before major holidays. These two campaigns drive more first-time visits than any other outreach method nonprofits run.
Annual Giving Mailer
Fall EDDM postcard to your full community area telling one story of impact and making it easy to give with a QR code. Broader reach drives first-time donors that existing list mail can't.
Community Event Invitation
EDDM postcard for VBS, community dinners, food drives, or open houses. Postcards land in homes a week before the event so families have time to plan and bring neighbors.
Customer Success
“EDDM is the only channel where we can invite an entire neighborhood without buying a list. Our Christmas Eve service had standing room only the year we started mailing.”
