About Us

Kindness Counts and CHARACTER COUNTS! In Iowa are projects of the Institute for Character Development at Drake University.

Founded by former Governor Robert D. Ray in 1997, the Institute is a non-profit organization housed at Drake University in Des Moines, IA.
Our mission is to recognize, enhance and sustain the positive qualities of Iowans in order to promote civility through character development and our vision is that every Iowan embrace and practice good character by demonstrating trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.

We're proud to facilitate two projects that provide resources to Iowa communities, families, schools, sports organizations, workplaces, and youth:

CHARACTER COUNTS! In Iowa
Through a statewide partnership with the CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition and the Josephson Institute of Ethics, we work on a variety of CHARACTER COUNTS! initiatives throughout the state of Iowa. CHARACTER COUNTS! is based on the Six Pillars of Character.

Iowa's Smart & Good Schools
We've recently joined forces with the Institute for Excellence & Ethics (IEE). Through this new partnership, we will serve as the first regional center in the nation to collaborate with IEE on research, program development and dissemination of the Power2Learn and Power2Teach programming for Iowa schools, businesses and communities. The Power2 projects are based on the Smart & Good Schools research report.
