Through GivingPlus®, Thrivent will match donations of its members to Lutheran institutions and ministries. Grace Lutheran School can greatly (and has) benefited from Thrivent's gift matching program.
Who can contribute?
Benefit or Associate Thrivent members over 16 years old
What is the match?
Thrivent will match 50% for every dollar the member contributes, up to $600. As a special reward for volunteering 25 hours or more to the institution of your choice (i.e. the school), Thrivent will add an additional $25 to its match - so keep track of your volunteer hours. Thrivent's faternal purpose is to encourage the giving of one's time over the giving one's dollars.
How often can I get participate in GivingPlus®?
You can have up to $600 matched a calendar year (resulting in the full $300 match), but it can be matched in any increment that you desire (i.e., $100 every two months). This year's gifts must be received by Thrivent by December 31st.
How can I get the matching fund for Grace?
Simply download this form (PDF format; requires Adobe Reader), print it, fill it out (be sure to check the box if you have given 25 hours to the school), and turn it (and your contribution) in to the school office. You can also mail it to the school:

The form should also be available in Grace's offices.
