titleUSPS 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
