Giving Plus

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans members (benefit and associate) age 16 and older are eligible to participate in the GivingPlus® program. Thrivent Financial has earmarked $24 million for the GivingPlus® program. Using those funds, Thrivent Financial will contribute $1 for every $2 donated by members to Lutheran Social Services.

Thrivent Financial will supplement $1 for every $2 donated by members up to a $300 maximum supplement to each organization.

Donations can be for any amount up to $600 (or more).

Members can make multiple donations (i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc.) to LSS in a given year and have the supplemental dollars provided when the paperwork is received and processed, however the donations will only be supplemented up to the $300 maximum supplement.

A monetary gift of cash, check or money order will be supplemented by Thrivent Financial. Stock or mutual fund share transfers are also eligible.
