I have absolutely no idea what it means. But I love it!

My only guess would be that zebras can't afford shoes. And/or they run quietly to avoid alerting predators. :)

The sound of one hoof clapping:

How do you know they didn't get those stamps donated to them so they could do this for people?

The stamp is not an actual stamp, but an imprint stating the price as well.

Yes, but how do you know those costs are not being covered by a Third Party?

Common things occur commonly, uncommon things do not. When you hear hoofbeats, don't think of zebras.

But it's quite common for non-profits to have reduced postage rates. Not sure if they show on the stamps... or do the standard postage rates show?

If it was the price that was printed on the envelope (presumably by a postage meter) then I'd be inclined to assume it was the price paid (based on below quote).

Don't know about the stamps. But on the franking meters, "Non-Profit" is clearly shown when printing postage. It's not that easy to obtain non-profit organization postage permits. And the USPS does monitor their use rather closely.
