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.
