If you are planning a charitable activity for your community, you may be able to receive a partial match on the cost or proceeds from your activity through Thrivent “Care Abounds in Communities” program. All you need to do is:
o Contact your Congregational Coordinator or Chapter Leader member
o Fill out the request form. You need the following required information:
1. Is the activity a fundraiser to support a charitable cause or a work group activity needing funds to complete a charitable project?
2. Who (person or organization name) will be the recipient of the charitable activity?
3. What is the date(s) for the activity?
4. What do you call (name) the activity?
5. Briefly describe the activity.
6. What are the estimated expenses for the activity?
7. How much funding ($) are you requesting?
8. How many Member Households will be involved, (6 required).
9. Who will the contact be for the activity? (Name, and phone number required)
Since all funded activities must be approved before the activity date, please submit your requests at least a month before the activity to insure that the Leadership Board has an opportunity to review and approve them.
o You will be notified of the funding the board approves for the activity.
o Keep all receipts for your expenses and turn them in to the Financial Director with all the funds collected from the activity.
o The Financial Director will return your funds and the match in funds to which your activity is entitled.
THAT’S IT!
