Direct donations to the Lutheran Community Foundation for the benefit of your endowment fund can now accomplish even more, through the benefits of a one-of-a-kind gifting program called GivingPlus.®
GivingPlus® is offered individually by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and two of its subsidiaries. It's an exciting way for eligible Thrivent Financial members and other individuals to increase the impact of their financial support to qualifying Lutheran organizations and institutions, such as the Foundation.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Thrivent Asset Management1 or Thrivent Life Insurance Company2 will contribute $1 for every $2 that an eligible individual donates through the program, up to a maximum supplement of $300 each year, based on program guidelines. It's an easy, convenient way to make gifts to your fund accomplish even more.
If your supporters are benefit members* of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans or own Thrivent Mutual Funds accounts and/or Thrivent Life Insurance Company products, they may simply fill out the GivingPlus® Gift Form and return it to the Foundation with their donation for the benefit of your fund (checks should be made payable to the Lutheran Community Foundation, with the name of your fund in the memo line). The Foundation will take care of sending the paperwork to Thrivent Financial for the supplemental funding.
* "Benefit members" generally are those who have been admitted into membership and own Thrivent Financial for Lutherans insurance or annuity products.
1 Thrivent Asset Management, LLC is a registered investment adviser that provides investment management services to the Thrivent Mutual Funds.
2 Thrivent Life Insurance Company is a life insurance company domiciled in Minnesota that issued variable life insurance and variable annuities to members prior to the time that state law authorized fraternal benefit societies to offer these products.
The GivingPlus program is funded on a year-to-year basis and is dependent in part on the financial success of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Thrivent Asset Management and Thrivent Life Insurance Company. Since funds are limited, it may not be possible to fully support all eligible gifts in any given year. Thrivent Financial reserves the right to change, modify or discontinue the GivingPlus program or any part of it.
