Why They Joined
"The Alliance’s work on behalf of non-profit mailers helps enable the Society to devote our energies to what really counts—fighting cancer.”
--Dr. John Seffrin, Chief Executive Officer, The American Cancer Society
“Relying heavily upon the Postal System for our fund raising for the poor and needy - I needed assistance. I found tremendous assistance from the Alliance and its membership and especially its Staff. I am kept up to date as to what is happening and what will be happening with our postal rates. The relationship of the Alliance with Congress and the Postal System has benefited the nonprofit sector. Every nonprofit should be a member!”
--Bro. Bill Schulte, O.F.M., The Franciscans
“The Alliance publishes a “must read” newsletter. It is informative, up-to-date and detailed where necessary. ANM puts postal issues in perspective. Policy makers read it and so do I. Every word.”
--Phil Claiborne, Elks Magazine
“The dues check we write to the Alliance every January is one that, year to year, pays for itself many times over. It is only because of our Alliance membership that I knew enough about the details of the new USPS rate structure as of 7/1/02, to keep after our printer to investigate and pursue drop-shipping on the mailing of our 975,000-circulation national publication. As a direct result, instead of bearing the full brunt of a 10% Nonprofit Periodicals increase as of July, we project that we will instead SAVE between $40,000 and $60,000 in postage just this fiscal year. You can see why we consider membership in the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers a tremendous bargain.”
--Kurt Wehrmeister, Moose International
“Smaller firms like AAII could not afford representation in Washington. The Alliance allows modest contributions by the many to provide a strong and focused voice for us all.”
--James B. Cloonan, Chairman, American Association of Individual Investors
“When you get that ‘little defenseless me’ feeling, and it easy to get when dealing with the USPS, it’s really nice to have the Alliance folks on your side. They are the single most valuable ally you have when dealing with mail matters.”
--Dan O’Rourke, University of Wisconsin-Madison
“We have staff that discuss issues important to our members with local, state, and federal officials. However, because there are so many things we must deal with as a pro-hunting conservation organization; postal issues would be lost in the shuffle if we were not members of the Alliance.”
--Frank Marksman, California Waterfowl Association
“The Alliance for Nonprofit mailers is the flagship organization that communicates the needs of all nonprofit mailers. The dedicated, enthusiastic staff is instrumental in charting the course to achieve and maintain the best possible postal rates. The Alliance respect in the political realm is invaluable when negotiating legislation. It is reassuring to know the Alliance is just one phone call away!”
--Sharon Dilbone, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
“When it’s you against the local USPS on how a non-profit rule is interpreted. You stand on solid ground with the information and backing you get from the Alliance.”
--Ron Feilner, University of Missouri-Columbia
“The frequent, complex issues faced by non profit mailers requires constant professional attention. The Alliance provides the necessary partnership and assurance in monitoring the challenges faced by our industry.”
--Steve Smith, Christian Science Publishing Society
“The Alliance is the only strong representation for non-profit mailers. Over the years the Alliance not only saved postage dollars but provide constant resources for the members. The information is accurate and timely. The weekly newsletter is a valuable tool for me and my organization.”
--Ben Martinelli, Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers
“The Alliance does my homework for me. The newsletter and website give me the information I need, when I need it. The ‘heads up’ they provide on postal issues makes it a little easier to manage an already challenging budget.”
--Andrea Waters, Children International
“I am thankful I can count on the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers for quick answers regarding postal service. That way I can concentrate on rescuing America’s children from the ravages of prostitution. The Alliance is a reliable source for all non-profits who rely on the post office to communicate their message and raise funds for valued services.”
--Dr. Lois Lee, Children of the Night
“The Alliance has been responsible for maintaining a balance within congressional and postal venues to the benefit of the nonprofit community. They are the base of the pillar for nonprofit mailers, with their continued strength, focus, support and ability to make a positive difference.”
--Hugh A. Horowitz, American Institute of Chemical Engineers
“‘What’s in it for us?’ That’s the first question I asked before paying my first Alliance membership dues five years ago, but now I cannot imagine operating without the benefits of membership. The weekly Alliance Reports alone have enough information to justify the expense of membership but that’s only the beginning. The Alliance also represents the unique interests of non-profits to the Postal Service, the Postal Rate Commission, the Postal Board of Governors, and the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. During the last two rate cases the information provided by the Alliance was accurate and timely-available one to two months earlier than through local postal representatives. In fact, I was often the one to inform local postal managers about the latest developments. If you are a non-profit mailer, I encourage you to join the Alliance.”
--Jud Thurman, Gospel Minutes Publications
“Not having a full-time staff person to monitor postal affairs, I have come to count on Neal and his staff to not only keep me informed on happenings in the postal world, but look out for Illinois Farm Bureau’s best interest in Washington D.C. when it comes to dealing with postal issues affecting the non-profit community.”
--Bob Standard, Illinois Farm Bureau
The Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers is a national association of nonprofit organizations that use the mails to raise funds, solicit members and disseminate information.
