In celebration of their 100th anniversary, W.W. Norton & Company has committed to a number of philanthropic causes, including donating books to higher education in prison programs.

The Alliance was pleased to host the second round of Norton's historic book donation program, with hopes that these books will arrive in time for the Fall 2024 semester. Higher education in prison educators and administrators were able to apply for books that will be used by people pursuing their education while incarcerated. Norton graciously prepared a list of 164 titles from their catalog to choose from.

Previous Donation Cycles

Over two donation cycles, we are proud to have been able to donate 9,161 books to over 50 programs across the United States! Physical academic texts are invaluable, not only for the information they hold but as a resource for incarcerated students who depend on access to printed materials for scholastic success.
