| Thrivent Choice: An easy way to help support what matters to you |
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has introduced a new charitable grant program and benefit of membership called Thrivent Choice. As the name implies, it's designed to give members a voice in how Thrivent Financial distributes some of its charitable outreach funds each year.
Thrivent Choice has two components:
1. Voting Events: All members (age 16 and older) will have an opportunity to vote to help direct a portion of Thrivent Financial's charitable funds among a short list of national charities one to two times per year.
2. Choice Dollars: Eligible benefit members will be able to help direct funds all year long to thousands of Lutheran nonprofit organizations like schools, camps, colleges—or even your Lutheran congregation. (Eligibility is based on your involvement with Thrivent Financial, through your ownership of Thrivent Financial life, health or annuity products or your volunteer leadership with our chapter. Directing Choice Dollars and participating in Voting Events are subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Thrivent Choice Program.) Eligible members will receive a letter this summer that provides details on how to participate.
Participation is simple and easy, without any complicated forms to complete. You'll be able to vote or direct Choice Dollars in a way that's convenient for you. Visit www.thrivent.com/thriventchoice or call 800-THRIVENT (800-847-4836) for more information.
Thrivent Choice, Thrivent Choice Voting, Thrivent Choice Dollars and Choice Dollars are intellectual property of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
