Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Women's Storybook Project connects and strengthens the bond between children and their incarcerated mothers through the power of literature. By fostering meaningful connections, the program aims to reduce the rate of re-incarceration amount mothers, lower the likelihood of children following a path to incarceration, support literacy and promote positive parenting and improve communities through the healing power of story and connection. Through each book sent and each story shared, we help rewrite futures - one family at a time.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To connect children with their incarcerated mothers through the joy of literature.

  • In a heartfelt effort to maintain bonds between incarcerated mothers and their children, the Women's Storybook Project reached across 12 women's prisons in Texas, enabling 552 mothers to record stories and/or write caring notes, 1,032 children to receive these messages of love, and 5,693 books and/or recordings to be mailed to children across 23 states. This initiative continues to bridge distance with the power of storytelling, nuturing connection and healing one book at a time.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
