Green Pastures Forum is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting incarcerated individuals through meaningful resources and spiritual engagement. Our organization publishes a monthly newsletter, specifically designed for inmates and distributed to federal and state prison libraries across the United States. Each edition features articles of encouragement, spiritual teachings, and practical resources to aid inmates in personal growth and rehabilitation. This free publication is made accessible via hard copies and through an online flip book on our website, where it can be viewed on smartphones for online subscribers. We seek grant funding to sustain and expand this initiative, which reaches both inmates and supporting communities, including churches and organizations

Incarcerated individuals often lack access to positive reading materials that encourage spiritual growth, emotional resilience, and personal development. The Green Pastures Forum newsletter fills this gap by providing monthly content aimed at uplifting, educating, and supporting inmates. Due to the high demand and distribution needs, our program requires sustainable funding to print, mail, and develop digital versions of the newsletter for wider reach.

  1. Print and Distribution of Hard Copies
    • Objective: To provide 1,000 hard copies of the monthly newsletter for distribution to prison libraries across the U.S., as well as to individual supporters, churches, and organizations.
    • Activities: Monthly printing of newsletters, addressing, and mailing.
    • Expected Outcome: Increased accessibility of supportive, positive content for inmates and enhanced connection between Green Pastures Forum and its broader community of supporters.
  2. Online Digital Flip Book and Website Development
    • Objective: To maintain and enhance an online version of the newsletter accessible on computers and smartphones for ease of reading and sharing.
    • Activities: Website hosting, digital flip book production, and online subscription management.
    • Expected Outcome: A broader reach to both the incarcerated population and their supporters, with increased online engagement.

The Green Pastures Forum newsletter provides critical spiritual and personal development resources to inmates and connects them with communities that support their rehabilitation journey. We invite your organization to partner with us in sustaining and expanding this impactful program. Your support will enable us to reach more individuals, both within and outside of prison walls, with uplifting, life-changing content.
