Put Your Mission in Someone's Hands
A postcard puts your ask in front of a supporter with no envelope to open. It lands in a mailbox, on an event table or inside a welcome packet, whether you are mailing a year-end appeal, inviting donors to a gala, recruiting volunteers, or thanking the people who already gave. Sets of 50 start at $16.48 and the cards rate 4.7 out of 5 across 17 reviews.
At volume each card costs pennies, it prints full color on one or both sides, and four of the stocks carry 30% to 100% post-consumer recycled content. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on postcards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
A thank-you run to 50 board members and major donors is $16.48. A year-end appeal to a donor file of 7,000 comes to $176.61, about 2.5 cents a card. Tap any of the 40 tiers below for the set total and the saving at each step.
What Are Nonprofit Postcards
Nonprofit postcards are full-color postcards printed in 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11" jumbo mailer, on any of 22 stocks. Organizations mail them for jobs a letter is too slow for: fundraising appeals, donation reminders, gala and event invitations, volunteer recruitment, membership renewals, and donor thank-you notes. If you want the classic marketing format, the Standard Postcards cover that, and this nonprofit version sits beside it with the same specs.
What Size Should a Nonprofit Postcard Be
Pick the size by how much you need to say and where the card will land. A 2.5" x 2.5" or 3" x 3" square is perfect for an event handout, a thank-you insert, or a membership card. A 3" x 4" or 4" x 4" gives an appeal room for a photo and a short story. A 6" x 11" jumbo mailer is the largest card in the mailbox, with room for a photo, the story and the ask. All 14 sizes, both finishes, and the full stock list are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a premium metallic look, the Metallic Foil Postcards go further, and the pocket-sized Mini Cards are a smaller handout option.

Three choices shape a nonprofit postcard.
Choose a stock that carries your values
For an eco-minded mailing, reach for the recycled papers: a 15pt gloss and a 14pt uncoated cover at 30% post-consumer content, a cream 14pt uncoated at 30%, or a 13pt uncoated at 100% post-consumer waste. For everyday value the default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps it clean and cheap, linen adds a premium texture for a gala invitation, and a High-Gloss UV Coating brightens a photo or logo.
Put the QR code to work
Print your appeal on the front, drop a scannable QR code on the back, and the card walks a donor straight to your donation page with one tap. Turn on variable data and every card can carry a different code, name, or ask amount.
Design it without a designer
Pick a layout in our postcard design templates with a photo on the front and room for the ask and a QR code on the back, then add your logo and colors in the online editor. One photo of the people you serve and one sentence of ask read better than a full page of text.
Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank. Each blank postcard template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Pick the size that matches your order below, place your art, and upload.

How Much Do Nonprofit Postcards Cost
Nonprofit postcards start at $16.48 per set of 50, about 33 cents each, and the per-postcard price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, where the cost falls under 2 cents each. An 800-card run is $73.60 and 7,000 run $176.61, across 40 quantity tiers in all. You also earn 4OVER4 loyalty coins on the order, worth up to 13% off at checkout.

Wally puts your mission in the mailbox
Why a stack of postcards can carry a whole appeal.
Fifty nonprofit postcards start at $16.48, and you can print them on recycled stock in full color, then personalize every card with a donor name or a QR link to your donation page. Pick a size, set your speed, and Wally gets your appeal in the mail fast.
Can You Print a Name or Code on Each Postcard
Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique donor name, an individual ask amount, a serial number, or a one-off QR code onto each card in the run. That turns a postcard into a personal appeal, a numbered membership renewal, or a thank-you addressed to one supporter. Pair it with full color on both sides and a recycled stock. For recycled postcard printing on brown kraft stock, see the Kraft Postcards.

How Fast Can You Get Nonprofit Postcards
Nonprofit postcards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a mail date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day, or even Same-Day production. Each faster speed adds a set percentage to the base price. Same-Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day out of our NYC plant, and across all orders 99.8% arrive on time with 82% shipping early.

Nonprofit Postcards: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer recycled paper for a nonprofit mailing?
Yes. The 22 stocks include 30 percent and 100 percent post-consumer recycled options, along with uncoated and cream sheets. Those are the ones to choose when the paper itself is part of the message you are sending to donors.
How small a run can we order for a board or volunteer mailing?
Fifty cards is the minimum and starts at $16.48. That works for a board list or a volunteer thank-you, while a year-end appeal to a full donor file can run up to 100,000 with the per-card cost falling as the quantity climbs.
Can we address each card to the donor by name?
Variable data is an option, so donor names, giving levels or campaign codes can change on every card in the run. That lets a year-end appeal read personally without printing separate jobs. You send the data file with the artwork.
Can we get envelopes for a gala invitation?
Matching blank envelopes are available as an add-on. They make sense when the invitation should arrive closed rather than face up, for example a formal gala ask. For appeals and reminders the card mails on its own with no envelope to open.
What size should a year-end appeal card be?
Fourteen sizes are offered, from a 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch square up to a 6 inch by 11 inch jumbo mailer, plus a custom size up to 6 inch by 11 inch. A larger card gives an ask, an impact figure and a donation URL enough room, while smaller cards stretch a limited print budget further. Check the size against your postage class first.
How long before a campaign should we order?
Standard production is 3 business days, with 2-day, Next-Day and Same-Day rush available. Add shipping transit and, if you are mailing them yourself, the days the mail takes. For a dated event, working backwards from the arrival date is the safest way to pick a turnaround.
