Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has launched a new charitable grant program called Thrivent Choice, replacing the GivingPlus program. The new program includes Voting Events and Choice Dollars. Choice Dollars are designated to eligible Thrivent members to direct towards Lutheran charities like the LDA. Consider recurring directives of your Choice Dollars to provide maximum benefit. Click Choice Dollars for more information or visit Thrivent's website. As always, the LDA is grateful for your consideration in directing your Thrivent Choice Dollars.
You can automatically make electronic contributions to the LDA without writing a check. The Simply Giving program works in the same manner as your other bank account debits, including loan payments, utilities or bill payments automatically withdrawn from your account. You authorize the amount and frequency of your gift to be electronically transferred from your bank account (or credit card) to the LDA. It’s fast, safe and easy! And the LDA will issue you an annual donation statement for your tax records. Click here for an enrollment form.
Your gift to the LDA may also qualify for a matching gift from your employer. Check with your human resources department for details.
