Bless your family. Advance the Gospel.

Life insurance is more than just a safety net—it can become a powerful tool for eternal impact. By naming ARM Prison Outreach as a full or partial beneficiary, you can ensure that your legacy of faith lives on, while still protecting your loved ones financially. Whether you have an existing policy or want to create a new one, this approach allows you to support Kingdom work without affecting your current income or assets.

Give more, pay less in taxes.

Donating appreciated assets—like stocks, real estate, or other investments—can be a win-win. You may avoid capital gains tax, receive a charitable deduction, and make a significant impact with a gift that grows the Gospel behind prison walls. This strategy is especially powerful for those looking to make larger contributions without reducing cash flow or liquid assets.

Learn how to give with purpose and confidence.

Whether you’re new to giving or already supporting the causes you care about, this guide equips you with smart, faith-driven strategies to enhance your generosity. Learn how to align your giving with your values, explore various giving vehicles, and maximize the spiritual and financial return of your gifts.

Support ministry and save on taxes.

Assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate that have grown in value can be donated directly to ARM Prison Outreach. This method often allows you to:

• Avoid capital gains tax
• Receive a deduction for the asset’s full market value
• Make a larger gift than you could with cash alone

It’s a simple, strategic way to give—and a powerful opportunity to bless lives behind bars.

A strategic plan can multiply your generosity.

Before the calendar turns, take a moment to review your giving goals, financial position, and opportunities to support the ministries you love. Whether you give monthly or make a one-time gift, planning now can help you maximize your impact and minimize tax burdens.

Put your retirement to work for the Kingdom.

If you’re required to take minimum distributions from your IRA or workplace plan (401(k), 403(b), etc.), you may be able to make Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) directly to ARM Prison Outreach. Doing so can fulfill your distribution requirement without increasing your taxable income.

It’s a powerful and efficient way to support the Gospel behind bars—especially if you don’t need the income from your required distribution.

Flexible giving with lasting influence.

A Donor-Advised Fund allows you to make a charitable contribution now—using cash, stock, or other appreciated assets—receive a tax benefit, and recommend grants over time. It’s a personalized, low-maintenance way to manage your charitable giving and support causes like ARM both now and in the future.

Whether you make a gift this year or next, your DAF gives you complete flexibility and control.
