Locally Supported Activities

Locally supported activities

Locally supported chapter activities are fundraising, administrative, social and hands-on service activities hosted by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans chapter service teams that do not use funds from any of the chapter Care programs. An example would be an election event. Locally supported activities should be reported because it gives a more complete picture of volunteer activity on behalf of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. This helps Thrivent Financial demonstrate its active fraternal nature and strength, and show how the benefit of its tax-exempt status impacts our chapters' efforts and all the good we do together to help individuals, churches and communities. Congregational coordinators can report locally supported activities online via their Congregational Coordinator Administration section on Thrivent.com. For details on locally supported activities and guidelines for reporting them, please refer to CHIP, the online chapter resource guide, at www.thrivent.com/chip and search on "locally supported." There is also a quick reference guide about the topic at www.thrivent.com > Thrivent Community > Chapters > Volunteer Leader Resources > Quick Reference Guides.
