Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area has an excellent community partner in Thrivent Financial. As an organization and through the members it serves, Thrivent supports Habitat La Crosse’s mission to build homes, communities and hope.
Thrivent provides financial services and guidance to its members. Some of these services are philanthropic in nature, and those can be used to support Habitat La Crosse. One of these is Thrivent Action teams. Each Thrivent member is able to apply for up to two Action Teams each year. An Action Team encourages members to strengthen and give back to their communities. These teams provide up to $250 for members to create fundraising activities for philanthropic reasons. This money can help fund volunteer events, purchase the materials needed for a fundraiser, purchase materials for an already planned fundraiser, purchase meals for volunteers at a nonprofit and more. In the past, Thrivent members have used Action Team money to buy lunches for Habitat La Crosse volunteers on the job site and to provide materials needed for a Habitat La Crosse fundraiser, to name two examples. Both Thrivent and Habitat La Crosse have tons of examples of ways these Action Teams can be used. These range from very little effort to very involved. Either way, they can help build homes, communities and hope. Thrivent Choice Dollars are another way for Thrivent members to help Habitat for Humanity La Crosse area. Certain Thrivent members are allotted a certain number of Choice Dollars to allocate each year. These are not dollars that come out of the individual’s pocket. Instead, they are gifted to the individual’s chosen nonprofit from Thrivent. And Habitat La Crosse is one of the nonprofits members can choose. This is an even easier way to give back and help build homes, communities and hope. Thrivent gives its members several ways to live generously. Additionally, Thrivent as an organization is a generous partner for Habitat for Humanity. Thrivent Financial partners with Habitat affiliates to bring church members and people across communities together to help build more homes. These include individual Faith Builds and even Thrivent homes, which are built when Thrivent funds a portion of the home building costs for a Habitat family. Thrivent Financial has many employees and members who support Habitat La Crosse through volunteering, sitting on committees and donating. Are you a Thrivent member?
