What Is a Donor Mailing List?
A donor mailing list is a targeted list of donor contacts, with their postal addresses, used to send them direct mail. With PostGrid you build one from filters rather than buying a static file: target donor contacts and narrow by ZIP code, radius, age, income, and education, so you reach exactly the audience you want.
Before you pay, PostGrid shows the number of matching donor contacts and the price per contact, plus masked preview records to sanity-check the list. Confirm the build and the list is ready. Because PostGrid is also a print & mail platform, you can send letters and postcards to the donor list directly without exporting to a separate mail house.
