Thrivent Choice Reminder
As a reminder, Thrivent will no longer match gifts, but it will allow Thrivent members to direct Thrivent Choice Dollars to Lutheran nonprofit organizations, such as the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation.
Members can participate in one or two ways:
- Voting: All benefit and associate members will be eligible to vote to distribute a portion of Thrivent Financial’s charitable funds among a short list of national charities, (Lutheran and non-Lutheran) one to two times a year.
- Choice Dollars: Approximately 30% of benefit members will be able to direct Thrivent Choice Dollars to thousands of Lutheran nonprofit organizations, including Lutheran congregations. Eligibility for Choice Dollars is based on benefit member’s insurance premiums, account values and volunteer leadership. Most eligible benefit members will be able to direct between $25 and $100, and some may be able to direct as much as $500.
You can direct dollars to the Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation at no cost to you. This is a wonderful way to help the Foundation grow financially secure.
Gifts can be directed either by calling 1-800-847-4836 or going online at www.Thrivent.com. Click on the Thrivent Choice option under the “Thrivent Community” heading. Log on and follow the step by step directions. Be sure to direct your gift to the “Waldorf Lutheran College Foundation” not “Waldorf College.” If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Olson at 641-585-8147 or via email at olsonn@waldorf.edu.
