The Signatry

True legacy isn’t measured by what we accumulate, but by what we invest in eternity. Aric Almirola's heart reflects God’s own desire — that we focus not on what we can take with us, but on who we can bring with us. As he teaches his children about giving, he shows them that generosity isn’t just about finances, it’s about hearts aligned with God’s eternal purposes. 2 Corinthians 4:18 reminds us, “we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” At the end of our lives, the treasures of this world won’t matter, but the people we’ve pointed to Christ will. God's kingdom is eternal, and our greatest legacy is helping others discover it too. Let’s live with eternity in mind and give as God gave to us—freely and joyfully.

In the Parable of the Persistent Widow in Luke 18, Jesus tells of a widow who repeatedly goes to an unjust judge, seeking justice. Though the judge doesn’t care about her or her cause, he eventually grants her request because of her persistence.? You're probably giving to solve a problem God has laid on your heart. Your financial partnership with a ministry is valuable—but your persistent prayers are also a critical part of solving this problem. Just as the widow’s persistence led to justice, your ongoing prayers can help break barriers, open doors, and bring lasting change. Unlike the judge, God is compassionate and just. If even an indifferent judge can be moved by persistence, how much more will our loving Father respond to his children? Let’s not grow weary in lifting up our prayers, especially for the nonprofits and ministries that work tirelessly to serve others.

Congratulations to Aric Almirola, NASCAR driver and a donor to The Signatry, on his victory this weekend!

Even Jesus, the Son of God, took time to pray to God. In Luke 6:12, we see that he intentionally withdrew to a mountainside, spending the entire night in prayer. If Jesus, who is God, needed to pray and seek guidance, how much more do we, who are in constant need of his direction and strength, need to prioritize time in prayer? Jesus shows us the importance of carving out space to connect with God, especially during pivotal moments or decisions. Just as Jesus sought God’s wisdom and guidance in pivotal moments, we too can approach God in humility, asking for direction on how to give, support, and serve in ways that advance his kingdom. As we pray and give, let’s ask God to help us understand where and how we can make the greatest impact—whether in our families, through nonprofits, or in our communities. Let’s prioritize prayer, trusting that God will lead us in our generosity and help us create a lasting legacy of giving for his glory.

Congratulations to our March Spotlight Employee, Micah Edman! Micah serves The Signatry as an AMA Specialist. He was nominated because he has gone above and beyond in personifying the value of collaboration at The Signatry. Micah’s supervisor, Jake Tometich, has this to say about him: “Micah is the kind of teammate everyone hopes to have—hardworking, adaptable, and always willing to step up for the team. In his time at The Signatry, he has not only grown in his role but has also shown an incredible heart for collaboration and serving others. Whether jumping in to support a colleague, working seamlessly across teams, or taking on new challenges with excellence, he does it all with a positive attitude and a team-first mindset. We’re so grateful to have him as part of our Signatry family—congrats, Micah, on being our March Spotlight Employee!”

The definition of success for NASCAR driver Aric Almirola was very clear at a young age: race to the finish line and save to set his family up for generations. When he stopped to read Matthew 6 and started living a life for Jesus, he changed his mindset and his success adopted an eternal focus.

Matthew 7:9-11 reminds us of the generosity of our heavenly father, who delights in giving good gifts to his children. Jesus paints a beautiful picture, asking if an earthly father wouldn’t give his child a stone instead of bread or a snake instead of fish, how much more will God provide what we truly need? God’s generosity is not limited to material blessings—it extends to wisdom, opportunities, and the resources to serve others. As we seek him in prayer, we can trust that he equips us not only for our own needs but to bless those around us. When we pray for provision, let’s also pray for the wisdom to steward his gifts well, using them to further his kingdom. Just as God is generous with us, we are called to reflect his generosity in how we give, serve, and love others. How can you mirror God’s generosity in your giving today?

When we give our time, energy, or money, it’s easy to feel like we’re losing something we worked hard to earn. However, the truth is that none of it was truly ours to begin with—it all belongs to God. James 1:17 reminds us, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father.” Everything we have—our resources, talents, and opportunities—are gifts entrusted to us by a generous God. When we give, we aren’t depleting our own reserves; we’re simply returning to God what he has graciously given us. This perspective transforms giving from an act of loss into an act of gratitude and worship. As stewards of God’s blessings, we can give freely, knowing that he is the ultimate provider of all we need.

Prayer is an opportunity for families to come together and reflect on the heart of generosity! Praying this with your spouse, helps you unite in your commitment to trust in God's provision and align your hearts with his will. It can deepen your marriage as you discuss how to give freely, reflect God's love, and build treasures in heaven together. Praying this with your children helps them see the importance of generosity from an early age. It’s an opportunity to teach them that all we have is a gift from God and to instill values of compassion and selflessness. By modeling these behaviors, you can help shape their character and make generosity a natural part of their lives. Praying this together as a family helps build a legacy of faith and generosity that will endure for generations.

“Simplicity,” “joy,” and “structure” are all words that the Almirolas use when describing the?benefit of a donor advised fund. With The Signatry, they do not worry about where their money will go or how their kids may use the fund in the future. As a faith-based DAF sponsor, The Signatry “checks all of the boxes” Aric Almirola needs to provide his family with a generosity tool that works for them. Since joining The Signatry, Aric Almirola continues his journey of giving freely of what God has entrusted to his family. Now a semi-retired race car driver with Joe Gibbs Racing, he enjoys spending more time with his family and being methodical with how he serves and includes his children in sharing their resources.
