Help cover the Summer edition production costs

Your support is crucial in helping us deliver the Black Iowa Newspaper's Summer edition and the upcoming Black Iowa Voter Guide. Help us with a tax-deductible donation.🗞️✨🙌🏾

The trailblazing Black Iowa Newspaper is making its mark across Iowa by centering Black Iowans on every page, photo and paragraph. Our quarterly statewide newspaper reaches Black Iowans in 24 cities where they live, work and worship, thereby building community and fostering understanding among all Iowans.

High-quality journalism is critical, especially now, and it’s costly.

With your tax-deductible donation, we can produce and deliver our upcoming Summer Edition to over 100 Iowa locations and fulfill our mission of "prioritizing, educating and uplifting ourselves."

Thank you for supporting the Black Iowa Newspaper and helping us meet our urgent operating costs.
