Launching in spring 2010, Thrivent Choice is a new giving program that lets members help choose where Thrivent Financial gives back.Members can participate in one or two ways:
Voting: All benefit and associate members will be eligible to "vote" to distribute a portion of Thrivent Financial's charitable funds among a short list of national charities (Lutheran and non-Lutheran), one to two times per year.
Choice Dollars: Approximately 30% of benefit members will be able to direct Thrivent Choice Dollars to thousands of Lutheran nonprofit organizations, including Lutheran congregations. (Approximately 75% of past participants in the GivingPlusŪ program will be eligible to direct Choice Dollars.)
Eligibility for Choice Dollars is based on a benefit member's insurance premiums, account values and volunteer leadership. Most eligible benefit members will be able to direct between $25 and $100, and some may be able to direct as much as $500.
Note: Directing Choice Dollars will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Thrivent Choice Program.
