In the Netherlands it was relatively easy to get such a device for an organization.

Same here. Anybody - or any organization - can get a "postage meter" as they're called here. And as long as you're paying the full postage rate, you're all set. What is less easy to get is a mail "permit" that gets you special postage rates. The most common is "bulk mail" or "pre-sorted" (i.e. junkmail) as they call it nowadays. In exchange for complying with a bunch of somewhat complex rules plus doing some of the post office's sorting work, you get substantial discounts over the usual first class single item rate.

Non-profit permits are trickier. You first need to obtain formal recognition of your "tax-exempt" or 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. That's not an easy thing to do these days. The IRS has gotten very tough about who and what qualifies since NPOs get favorable tax treatment. After that you need to apply for the non-profit mailing permit.
