  • Individuals can donate to any eligible and enrolled organization they choose.
  • Individuals can donate to as many eligible and enrolled organizations as they choose, but Thrivent Financial and the subsidiaries will only provide supplemental dollars to two organizations per year.
  • Thrivent Financial or one of the subsidiaries will contribute $1 for every $2 donated up to a $300 maximum supplement to each organization.
  • Donations can be for any amount up to $600 (or more).
  • Individuals can make multiple donations (i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc.) to the same organization 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.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a major asset to not only individual Lutherans, but also the Lutheran church as a whole. St. Olaf, with the help of Carol Melland, earned doubled funds of $4500.00 this year from Thrivent.

To start off our fundraising year, the Easter Breakfast was held at St. Olaf and brought in $1368.00 from ticket sales and cash donations. Thrivent doubled our funds, for a total earnings of $2668.00, with all proceeds going to the youth.

The next large fundraiser we held was the Strawberry Festival. After expenses we earned $6508.00. Thrivent added another $3200.00 to our money, for a total fundraising profit of $9708.00. This money was split into various groups at St. Olaf.

Much thanks goes out to both Thrivent Financial, as well as Carol Melland for coordinating these extra funds. If you would like information about becoming a member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans please contact them locally at:
