The Chronicle, 11/03/2005: New Postal Rates to Increase Costs for Charities: "New Postal Rates to Increase Costs for Charities
By Holly Hall

The Postal Rate Commission has recommended new postage rates for charities, to take effect in January, that would result in double-digit percentage increases in postage for some nonprofit mailings.
Under the commission's plan, charities that mail fund-raising appeals, newsletters, and other materials at 'nonprofit standard' rates would see their postage rates rise by 3 percent next year. But charities that sort their mail in the order in which it is delivered, to earn discounts under 'nonprofit enhanced carrier route' rates, would face increases of up to 12.3 percent."
