The Drake Community Press is a unique, community‑centered publishing initiative that brings together Drake students, faculty, and community partners to tell meaningful stories that matter. Through collaborative book projects focused on issues of local and regional importance, the Press fosters dialogue, deepens connections, and directs all book proceeds back to community organizations—creating impact well beyond the page.
Our unique, curriculum-based publishing laboratory at the Drake Community Press brings students, faculty, and community professionals from a variety of academic disciplines and backgrounds into conversation with a non-profit partner that has a compelling story to tell. Since 2011, the DCP has produced several titles in partnership with selected human service non-profits in Iowa and raised more than $60,000 to help those organizations advance their cause.
Your gift will help the Press continue to provide Drake under-graduates with exceptional and immersive learning experiences they will remember long after their studies are over.
