Charity Collaborations

At DK, we believe in using our resources and expertise to make a difference. That's why we are proud to support charities and organisations like yours through our custom publishing and other content solutions.
 
Below are some examples of our work with leading charities around the globe.
 


Case Study: Giving the Gift of Financial Literacy to the Youngest of Readers

  • We brought financial education to life through a custom picture book created for a non-profit organisation.
  • A new and engaging story was created through a collaborative process, with input from the partner every step of the way.
  • The book was distributed for free during Financial Wellness Month, inspiring children to become better stewards of their money.


Case Study: Promoting a Love of Reading with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

Our team worked closely with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to identify titles that perfectly aligned with their mission of promoting a love of reading among children.

We carefully selected books with a wide range of content and worked with our editorial and production teams to create customised options that would meet Dollywood's budget requirements while still maintaining the high quality of our books.

We are proud to be working with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to create books that will inspire a love of reading in children for years to come. This partnership is a testament to our own commitment to supporting the growth and development of children through engaging and high-quality content.
 


Case Study: Getting Children Reading with BookTrust

BookTrust, the UK’s largest children’s reading charity, approached us for a proposal of titles for their Early Years Targeted Offer, aimed at newborns and toddlers.

We compiled a range of suitable titles that also met BookTrust's strict budget requirements through custom specification changes. We are proud to have supported their mission to get children reading and develop a love for books from a young age.



Case Study: Birds, Butterflies, and Trees: A Loyalty Gift Success Story

We partnered with the world's largest charity lottery to create a book as a loyalty gift for their members.
 
Previously gifted books had mainly been cookery books by celebrity chefs, however, in 2020 the lottery envisioned a more useful book closer to their mission and felt that the DK Pocket Book of Birds was a great fit.
 
We worked closely with the lottery to create a book that aligned with their objectives of promoting a just, healthy, and green world. Our creative team adapted and redesigned the guide to fit the customer's design and mailing requirements.
 
We collaborated with a Dutch publisher to ensure that the selection of birds was correct for the Netherlands, creating an additional pull-out identification guide from scratch to enhance the reader's experience.
 
The loyalty book campaign turned out to be the most successful one for the lottery, with 2.9 million books printed and delivered leading to fantastic feedback from their members, and we have since created two other giveaway book products on Trees and Butterflies & Insects to further support their cause.
