Charles Stiles, AOL Postmaster, said: “We want to make sure that not-for-profits who depend on timely communication with their members get all of the privileges of this powerful medium.

Our announcement today guarantees that every certified not-for-profit will get the same benefits as private-sector companies that have decided to utilize Goodmail’s Certified Email system.” [Source]

AOL offers two options to such organizations. The first option is: Non-profit organizations that confirm to AOL’s anti-spam and email policies may qualify for AOL’s Enhanced White List. Enhanced White List provides delivery of email, including images and web links. AOL will directly administer and provide this program at no charge to not-for-profit organizations.

The second option will enable not-for-profit organizations to use one or several third-party email accreditation service providers to authenticate their email. AOL will fully pay for not-for-profits’ flat rate, sign-up costs associated with third-party provider program on a pro-bono basis.

Charles Stiles, said: “We announce this today to make sure that there is no further confusion or question about what not-for-profits would need to do to be able to communicate to AOL members on a level commensurate with large, commercial email providers who opt to use Goodmail’s Certified Email program.

There will be no requirement, ever, for not-for-profits who deliver email to AOL members to pay for email certification and delivery.” [Source]
