USPS Postmark Policy


Beginning Dec. 24, 2025, the U.S. Postal Service will no longer apply postmarks at local mailboxes or post offices. Instead, postmarks will be added later at regional processing centers — sometimes days after mail is dropped off.

Due to changes in mail processing, the postmark on an envelope may not always reflect the actual date a gift was mailed. This means the date we receive the donation determines when it can be counted — whether for a specific month or year (for tax purposes).

If you plan to mail a check near the end of a month or year and want it credited to that period, please take steps to ensure the mailing date can be verified. Dropping a check in a mailbox or using a self-service kiosk may not provide proof under current USPS processes.

To help ensure timely crediting, consider:

  • Bringing your envelope to a USPS counter and requesting a manual (local) postmark
  • Purchasing postage with a Postage Validation Imprint (PVI)
  • Using Certified or Registered Mail or requesting a Certificate of Mailing

    titleCan a donor send a check from a non-US bank??

    Yes—but only in certain currencies.

    Reliant can accept international checks in the following currencies:

    • 🇨🇦 Canadian Dollar (CAD)

    • 🇬🇧 British Pound (GBP)

    • 🇪🇺 Euro (EUR)

    💡 Tip: If the donor’s check is in any other currency, please encourage them to give online using a credit card at Reliant.org

    For large gifts or if the donor prefers not to give by credit card, ask them to reach out to Donor Services at donor.services@reliant.org to explore other options.

    Q: Can I send Reliant more than one check and New Gift Form at a time?

    A: Yes. You can usually fit four New Gift Forms and four checks in an envelope for the cost of a regular stamp. If you have more than four checks, consider using a large envelope, which costs less than sending multiple smaller envelopes. 

    Q: What if the check is made out to me instead of Reliant?

    A: First, ask them to rewrite it to Reliant. If you can’t get them to re-write it...
