Your support keeps us moving
DC Books to Prisons runs entirely on unpaid volunteer labor and your donations. Our workspace is donated, so every dollar goes directly toward sending books to incarcerated readers who have no other option.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible.
Checks should be made payable to "DC Books to Prisons" and sent to us at:

Some employers offer corporate matching gifts, allowing individual donors to increase the value of their donation. If you work for a large company, we suggest checking whether it provides matching gifts. Details of matching-gift programs vary considerably from company to company and can change at any time, so we suggest asking your employer's human resources department for details.
We appreciate your support!
