New Guidelines for Thrivent's GivingPlus program

     Thrivent Financial members directed over $21,000,000 in gifts to Lutheran institutions through the GivingPlusTM program in 2003! Here are the enhancements to this program for 2004. There’s a change in volunteer bonus, an increase in the budget, access to a member gift form you can personalize online, and an extended deadline.

  • New Volunteer Bonus! More volunteering.
    $25 for 25 or more hours Thrivent members (who donate an eligible gift) to your institution. The volunteer bonus is no longer dependent on the amount of the gift.

  • New Allocation! More gifts.
    The allocation for 2004 is $24,000,000 – an additional $2 million for this program!

  • New Form! Less work.
    Fill out the form online before making copies.

  • New Deadline! More time.
    Gifts given through December 31, 2004 will be considered IF the $24 million has not been reached. They must be postmarked by January 15, 2005.
