How your gift helps

When you support the University of Minnesota Press with a tax-deductible donation, you help us bring high quality, affordable books to our readers.

• You help us produce beautifully illustrated books that communicate powerfully about the people, history, and natural environment of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest.
• You help us publish our next award-winning title in the humanities or social sciences.
• You provide the funding we need to translate a game-changing book into English.
• You make it possible for us to bring out compelling books that may not be blockbusters, but can find an eager audience.
• You help us keep our book prices within reach of more readers by supporting a single title, series, or subject area.

You Make the Difference

Like other nonprofit organizations, the University of Minnesota Press depends on the generosity of people like you to enable us to carry out our mission. More than 95% of our operating funds are generated through sales and from the financial support of our generous donors. And here’s a fact that might surprise you: we receive less than 5% of our funding from the University of Minnesota.

Thank you for supporting the University of Minnesota Press!
