Green Pastures Forum is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to share hope and faith with incarcerated individuals across federal and state prisons in the United States. Founded by a community of first-generation Korean-American Christians, we are driven to pass on the values of faith, service, and compassion that define our heritage. By providing inmates with free Bibles and spiritual resources, we aim to foster transformation, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. We seek partnerships with churches, organizations, corporations, and individuals who share our commitment to spiritual care and volunteerism.
Inmates face unique challenges, including isolation and limited access to positive, faith-based resources. Many seek spiritual growth, guidance, and hope during their incarceration. Bibles serve as a powerful resource, offering comfort, direction, and inspiration. However, there are often insufficient supplies of religious materials in prison libraries. The Green Pastures Forum Bible Distribution Program fills this gap by providing Bibles and supplemental spiritual materials to inmates at no cost. This program is currently supported by donations, but to meet growing demand and expand our reach, additional funding and partnerships are essential.
- Bible Distribution

- Outreach and Partnership Development
- Objective: To build partnerships with churches, organizations, corporations, and individuals who can support or sponsor Bible donations.

Green Pastures Forum is committed to meeting the spiritual needs of inmates across the U.S. by providing free access to Bibles and faith resources. Through the generous support of partners, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of incarcerated individuals, offering them hope and a foundation for positive change. We invite your organization to join us in this impactful mission, bringing the transformative power of faith to those who need it most. Thank you for considering this proposal.
