Locally Supported Activities

Locally supported activities

Locally supported chapter activities are fund-raising, administrative, social and hands-on service activities hosted by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans chapter service teams that do not utilize funds from any of the three chapter Care programs. Some examples are confirmation recognition and other social activities. 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 the Congregational Coordinator Administration section on the Congregational Coordinators Only area of 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/members/chip and search on "locally supported." There is also a quick reference guide on the topic in the Volunteer Resources; Tutorial/Quick References area of Members/Chapters at Thrivent.com.
