 Vote for Fellowship Square!

Thrivent Financial’s Giving Plus Program has been a significant source of fundraising for Fellowship Square for many years. But Thrivent has now ended Giving Plus in favor of a new program*Thrivent Choice*that will begin this spring. We need your help in establishing our eligibility to receive funds under this new program.Thrivent Choice kicks off in April with a “Voting Event” that will give members a voice in choosing where Thrivent Financial directs a substantial portion of its charitable funds. All benefit and associate members aged 16 and older will be able to vote either online or by mailing in a business reply card inserted into the April issue of Thrivent magazine. Voters will select their favorite organization from a list drawn up by Thrivent and will then record their vote with a few clicks on Thrivent.com or by mailing in the card from the magazine. Thrivent Financial will proportionally distribute $1 million among the participating charities, based on the votes received. If more than 400,000 members (15% of the total membership) submit a vote during this first Thrivent Choice Voting Event, Thrivent Financial will proportionally distribute a bonus of $1 million to the national charities. We urge you to vote for Fellowship Square, and to make sure that your Thrivent member friends and congregations get their votes in, too!
