The World Of Charity & The Need To Give

  • Interesting that in an email centric world, the United States Postal Service continues to push the importance of direct mail: —: “Direct mail creates a one-on-one connection that’s hard for other media channels to match,” says Tom Foti, manager, Direct Mail and Periodicals for USPS. “The average household receives only two pieces of direct mail a day compared with 157 emails. It lets you incorporate coupons, reply cards, mobile barcodes – such as QR codes – URLs and other response mechanisms. Direct mail is a workhorse for generating leads, traffic and sales.”: Quadriga Art: and many other non-profit fundraisers agree in the importance of direct mail.
  • Meanwhile, there are other family foundations, like the: Elie Hirschfeld: or The: Irving Moskowitz: Foundation where wealthy families donate funds.

o: : : The Moskowitz Foundation: is a charitable, non-profit foundation dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of people based on the precept, ‘He who has saved one life, it is as if he has saved the world.
