Leave a Legacy

Prison Fellowship International is the largest, most extensive association of national Christian ministries working within the criminal justice field, proclaiming the Gospel worldwide, restoring prisoners’ lives, helping their families and successfully integrating them back into the community – for good. Your legacy giving will make an eternal impact in the lives of prisoners, their families and crime victims across the world.

We may never see the full impact of our investments in lives during our time here on earth, but we will see it on the other side of heaven.

The Colson International Legacy Society is a special group of donors who believe that breaking the cycle of crime is possible, and have made a commitment to Prison Fellowship International through their will, a trust, a beneficiary designation or other kind of planned gift. As members of the society, donors receive a certificate of recognition, a special annual briefing from Prison Fellowship International’s CEO, and the joy of knowing that prisoners, their families and victims of crime will be able to hear the Gospel message of hope for years to come.

Retirement Assets and Beneficiary Designations

Retirement assets support Prison Fellowship International's mission and provide tax relief for your loved ones.

Since funds in a retirement plan, IRA or tax-sheltered annuity have yet to be taxed, beneficiary distributions will owe federal income tax. Consider leaving all or part of your retirement assets to Prison Fellowship International. As a tax-exempt, non-profit organization, we will receive the full designation of your gift, tax-free.

Jesus said, “I was in prison and you visited Me.” We know of no better way of continuing to serve and obey Jesus Christ after we have died than to endow Prison Fellowship International's work in our wills. Though we were never privileged to meet Chuck Colson, we have a deep admiration for his integrity and commitment to return to prison to share the Gospel.
