We are a non-profit 501(c)3 ministry that has served the Christian community for over 40+ years. We are funded by the support contributions of more than 150 partner ministries - not product sales.

We have assisted more than 50,000+ members in completing their personal estate plans in all 50 states. Our documents contain gift designations of more than $3,0000,000,000 to Christian charities.

Our staff of over 40 provide outstanding service and support to our members. Michael Prior, J.D. has served as President of FPM for over 30 years with a board of non-profit directors.

FPM will conduct educational presentations in person or virtually, each year.

We will offer one-on-one appointments following the events.

We will provide custom documentation for members to complete their estate plan.

Your members are eligible for ongoing follow-up and document updates from FPM at no out-of-pocket cost.

We request that you contribute financially to support the charitable purposes of the FPM ministry. Updates on your program’s gift progress will be provided to you.

Teach your members about an important aspect of stewardship.

Give your members a tool to avoid probate, eliminate Federal estate taxes and protect their loved ones.

Build a steady, dependable, future gift income stream for the mission of your ministry.

Give your members an opportunity to support additional ministries important to them.

Provide an important benefit to your members from a proven ministry track record since 1982.

Although we serve many churches, we are also partnered with various para-church ministries.

Organizations include Christian churches, universities, evangelistic associations, funding and lending institutions, missionary organizations, retirement homes and youth camps.

FPM’s purpose is not only to provide a convenient document service for our members. It is about Stewardship.

More than 60% of the population die with no will or trust plan whatsoever. This often leaves their loved ones with a lengthy court process which can consume 6% to 8% of their estate.

It is not unusual for probate costs to exceed $30,000 or more by the end of the process.

With our assistance, this burden can be avoided. Our process also incorporates charitable giving through bequests.

In summary, the purpose of FPM is to guide members to better stewardship by helping them create their estate plan, avoid loss of privacy, and the costs of probate, then redirect saved funds to Kingdom purposes.

You will immediately begin seeing the commitments by members made through their estate plans. You will begin receiving gifts only as those donors pass away. Eventually, your gifts received will far exceed the investment you make in the initial years.

We cover everything pertaining to educating and providing a basic comprehensive set of state-specific estate planning documents. Should a member have a rare but unusually complicated legal or financial need, we will refer them to outside counsel options for legal advice, which we do not provide. Any fees would be arranged privately between them and the professional they choose.

Absolutely not. We do not sell investments or insurance and do not participate in any solicitation of your members. There are no monies that exchange hands between FPM and your members.

Yes, we have provided documents that are state-specific for the past 40+ years.

If you are looking for an immediate fundraiser, this is not the program.

You may wait 10 years or more to realize your first gifts, depending on the average age of your donors and life circumstances.

However, while time passes, you will be providing a valuable service to your members who will appreciate this gift you are providing for them. Eventually, you will likely receive a return well above the industry average of 4 to 1. Typically, we observe ROI ratios ranging from 15:1 to 30:1— or even higher.

We’re glad to address any additional questions you have. This truly is a partnership among ministries, and we want you to be fully informed and engaged in the process for long-term success. Our timing is your timing.
