About the Nonprofit Federation:
For over 25 years, the Nonprofit Federation of the DMA (and its predecessor organizations) has been serving as an effective advocate for nonprofits that rely on public support on postal, regulatory, legislative, and accountability issues. It leads the way in professional education on nonprofit direct response fundraising, which generated over $306 billion in individual contributions in 2007. With almost 400 nonprofit organization members reaching nearly every US household, it is one of the largest member segments of the Direct Marketing Association. It is the leading association for nonprofit organizations that use direct and interactive marketing channels such as mail, telephone, e-mail and social networking channels to gain support from individual donors.
